I asked my sister today what i was doing this time last year. She said it was 'Terry The Wasp Christmas' and i remembered. Im gonna click my sig to my playlist and browse the net for a bit. Seems like months since i did. Anyhow to start us off how about a link about imaginary numbers?
A Visual, Intuitive Guide to Imaginary Numbers | BetterExplained
Why do i like them? As it's all too clever for me. I think im missing out on something special i should know about. Red might mean run son but numbers dont add up to nothing. sorry that was a neil young line for those that ws wondering why i appear to be talking nonsense. I still dont know anything at all about what that last link page is talking about. I quite like the idea though of trying to think or define nothing though.

I know, they’re still strange to me too. I try to put myself in the mind of the first person to discover zero.
Zero is such a weird idea, having “something” represent “nothing”, and it eluded the Romans. Complex numbers are similar — it’s a new way of thinking. But both zero and complex numbers make math much easier. If we never adopted strange, new number systems, we’d still be counting on our fingers.
