"The true metaphysics of the square root negative 1 remains elusive." - C.F. Gauss

Of course errors are made. So?


You never learned to utilize the English language properly so you're going to have to work a little bit harder. Are you trying to say that there are applications for math errors?

If you are trying to say that it is valid for engineers to perform bad math, then you are mistaken ... once again.

And yet "errors" have been successful in applications. You deny this.

I deny this. Errors result in a lack of success. You must be new to this sort of thing.

How is complex plane an error? Complex numbers?

Do you deny the successful applications in science?

 

[IBDaMann]

How is complex plane an error?

Wrong question. The complex plane is not an error.

Complex numbers?

I see that you never learned how to ask valid questions. Complex numbers are not errors.

Do you deny the successful applications in science?

Of what? ... math errors? You really should learn how to formulate valid questions. You really suck at it.

You are all over places. Either imaginary numbers are "errors" in mathematics or they are not. They are not applicable in real world.

 

[Cypress]

Math error blended with gibberish.

There is no unit "iii" in standard mathematics. There is no i2. i^2 = -1. -i^2 = 1

@Cypress - why didn't you catch this? Instead, you praised the gibberish and the bad math.

No, @AProudLefty is correct, i^2 = -1, i^3 = -i, i^4 = 1, and i^5 = i

 

[Into the Night]

There are plenty of applications.

None. It's not possible.

 

[Into the Night]

Nice, and as per the article posted in the OP, certain calculations in quantum mechanics cannot be done without imaginary numbers. You can't just substitute in real numbers.

Quantum mechanics does not need imaginary numbers. You are bullshitting again.

 

[Into the Night]

"Liter" is NaN and is a quantity. "Quantity" and "number" are not the same thing. You are most welcome.

Liter is a unit of measurement. It is not a number or a quantity.

 

[Into the Night]

Correct. Infinity is.

Nan. Infinity is not a number or a quantity. It has no size.

 

[Into the Night]

Why do you say this? All probabilities can be expressed in real numbers. What specific quantum mechanics calculations are you claiming cannot be done without imaginary numbers?

None. Probability mathematics doesn't use them at all. Neither does quantum mechanics. He's just trying to bullshit again. He's like Robert in some ways.

 

[Into the Night]

I noticed you ignored the applications.

There are no applications for what is not possible.

 

[Into the Night]

You are all over places. Either imaginary numbers are "errors" in mathematics or they are not. They are not applicable in real world.

You can't deny your math errors by redefinitions and buzzwords.

 

[Into the Night]

I deny this. Errors result in a lack of success. You must be new to this sort of thing.

He's not new in using random phrases in his posts. He can't even keep track of what he posted five seconds ago.

 

[Into the Night]

How is complex plane an error? Complex numbers?

Do you deny the successful applications in science?

Random phrases. No apparent coherency. Void questions.

There is no such thing as a 'complex plane'.
There are no 'successful applications in science' for math errors.

Lots of gibberish, but not much in the way of intelligible or meaningful information.

 

[IBDaMann]

No, @AProudLefty is correct, i^2 = -1, i^3 = -i, i^4 = 1, and i^5 = i

You pivoted away from the error(s) and corrected others. Coward.

 

[IBDaMann]

Liter is a unit of measurement. It is not a number or a quantity.

Is it your contention that if I specify "liter" that I have not specified a quantity?

 

[IBDaMann]

Nan. Infinity is not a number or a quantity. It has no size.

Infinity is just a point on whatever you envision. I can envision the infinity value/point of real numbers and of complex numbers. If you cannot, then you won't be using infinity as a value/quantity ... just don't tell me that I somehow cannot.

 

[IBDaMann]

None. Probability mathematics doesn't use them at all. Neither does quantum mechanics.

Exactly. Can you imagine a casino hiring a mathematician to compute odds and then complaining that imaginary numbers weren't used?
