This video covers how imaginary numbers are used to solve real worlds problems in math, science, and engineering as well as a derivation of the most beautiful equation in math. The main topics include signals, controls, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, and circuits but imaginary numbers do have more applications.

One thing I was going to mention in the video which some people have said in the comments is that 'imaginary' isn't a great word for the square root of negative 1. Even Gauss, one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, has a famous quote in which he says... "“That this subject [imaginary numbers] has hitherto been surrounded by mysterious obscurity, is to be attributed largely to an ill adapted notation. If, for example, +1, -1, and the square root of -1 had been called direct, inverse and lateral units, instead of positive, negative and imaginary (or even impossible), such an obscurity would have been out of the question.”

@ Fugitive Yes however your master's may take more time since you may not be taking the full load of classes a "normal" full time grad student would (instead of finishing in 2 years maybe 3). It also depends on you and how well you could time manage and balance responsibilities.

that’s how the education system (at least in America and I’m pretty sure most of the world) works.

So students learn it to memorize since it’s easier than to fully understand it and its applications

It doesn't help that when a concept is first introduced the teachers explain it using formal math lingo which there is no way the students will understand, at least not at first. So basically the least resistance path to getting a good grade is to memorize a bunch of equations, and learn the mechanics of the exercises by doing a lot of them. This way a student can get a very high grade without ever having a proper understanding of the concepts behind what they are learning. Of all disciplines taught at school I think Math is the most broken out of them all imo in how poorly it's being taught

@@miguelpereira9859 I'm glad to see this mentioned. Most people learn by rote memorization, because it's made needlessly complicated by things like asinine vocabulary, and in truth most people don't have a concrete way to make it applicable to their daily lives, and they never will. Mathematics as taught isn't "just logic bro" as some claim, it's a game of trying to decipher the hidden message of the esoteric math cult. It's hard to answer something when the question itself needs to be explained. The established syntax is why a lot of people struggle with math, and that's the facts. Sadly if anything were ever formally done about it, I'm sure things would end up significantly worse, if other school initiatives are anything to go by. I think it's something teachers should just keep in mind.

I feel like explaining math would have the reverse affect for a lot of people. So many are simple minded and if explanations dont come naturally they give things a bad stigma and choose to neglect the importance of things. For people like myself and some of the others in the comment section im sure what you said makes sense. When I am perplexed by an idea I stop at nothing to fulfill my need to understand things. I personally was a little frustrated in school because like you i got to points in school where i had eurika moments in regards to specific concepts that I feel i couldve been explained in middle or high school and still understood. So the part thats like you i had wished they had just explained things in ways earlier on to build understanding. But instead the school systems focus on solely applications of math so people can just simply understand how to evaluate problems and feel good about getting to a definite answer. With or without an in depth explanation. Some would rather not have that in depth explanation because they will realize the extremes of what they are getting into and stop.

Here's an idea for a video you might want to consider. I think it was in my sophomore or junior year in college when a professor went through the laborious process of adding two electrical impedences using traditional math (lots of calculus if I recall). If I remember correctly, it took him something like 30 minutes. Then he did the same thing using complex numbers, getting the exact same answer, and it took him maybe two minutes. That's when I was sold on complex numbers. I wish I had kept those notes of him going through that long process. I can't even find it done that old way online. If you could make a vid showing how those calculations were done prior to the use of complex numbers, and then with complex numbers, I think that would be a major eye opener, and make people really appreciate the benefit of using complex numbers.

"Can't measure the 'i' of anything" Well, that's not exactly true, it depends on what the 'i' of something is. It could be representative of a geometric aspect (where i is one of the quaternions), in a complex number representing the interdependent population growths of a predator and prey species the real part would represent one species and the imaginary would represent the other. There's more examples in quantum physics but don't let the imaginary label of i mislead you, it's better to think of complex numbers (real + imaginary) as multidimensional numbers

In MRI machines, the measurements we get from machine are the imaginary and real parts of the 2D Fourier transform of the image from a slice of the patient. Also, in optics, if you throw parallel rays throw a convergent lens, the light at a focal distance from the lens shows the Fourier transform (the magnitude, I guess) These things blew my mind.

Amazing! You explained the application of imaginary numbers in such a way that I now understand their importance and significance. I believe that using i to mean imaginary is a unfortunate choice and a misnomer since it turns people off since it is not real, but from your explanation, I could now remember that the i could stand for intermediate instead. As they don't directly appear in reality or have direct analogs in reality, but they are convenient "intermediate" shorthands when transitioning from one state to another.

It is overwhelming at times, and i literally do not know where to start, so i am using pre-algebra in Alecks to try to find my place. you know.. just Jump right in. then i run into invisible numbers and think i must be in a kindergarten disney world...is this real? a search to understand practical use of invisible things leads me to you and i get a tiny glimpse of its purpose. it feels like it is there to find balance.. like a doing the problem over backwards to check your answer. i am an artist. when i looked at the xy graph and saw a mirrored number under it that was invisible.. i thought, oh, a reflection of the above, like looking into a pool of water... thanks again

There's two possible reasons why your teacher gave that response: 1. Your teacher never learned the applications of complex numbers 2. The background knowledge you'd need to know to understand their applications, is far beyond the scope of the class. For instance, you'd need to know the background of electric circuits, and what capacitors and inductors even are, to show you how to apply complex numbers in this particular real world application.

I'm an audio engineer and your section on how the elements of a circuit diagram really effect each other relating to phase and impedance and what not is blowing my mind right now I have so many questions but I feel like I should watch more electrical engineering videos about a.c. circuits first before doing so. This is amazing, and i think it's going to make so many things make sense

A pure math major friend of mine back in the day described i as just the thing you basically put in an equation that makes an orthogonal rotation away from the equation that still relates to it, relate to it. So every time you add i in the circuit diagram I just see it as an extra dimension of relation that affects it but doesn't actually change the literal position directly. Does that even make sense?! Like.... adding an extra orthogonal vector arrow at all points that can be manipulated?

@nidhikih2451 5 жыл бұрын
Resistance refers only to the opposition of a component to conduce electric current, impedance refers to the factor that relates a voltage with it's current or vice-verse (Basically Ohm law but instead of the R, it's a Z which stands for impedance). Resistance is actually an impedance, but just for the case of a resistor, as capacitors and coils have a different expression for their impedance that relates to it's capacitance and inductance respectively.
@paulauchon5455
@paulauchon5455 5 жыл бұрын
@Justin Chan The impedance of a circuit has two components; 1) Resistance : how the circuit resist the current by heating up 2) Reactance : how your circuit augment or diminish vibration of current Those two together will determine how your AC circuit reacts. For exemple, an Electric motor in a circuit will make your circuit vibrate, which will result in less usable power in your circuit. In order to reduce reactance, you will add an capacitor to your circuit to tamper vibration.

He is just basically showing you that imaginary numbers is a very useful tool to deal with complicated physics equations. Thanks to euler's identity, we can use imaginary numbers to manipulate real functions (physics laws), i.e. treat them as the real part of complex functions (imaginary numbers as inputs and outputs) because lots of useful calculations are easier in complex domain. This series in the following link is much much better than this video, though it doesn't go into engineering applications of them. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipxkaqZ42Nuzhok.html For better explanation of Fourier Transform, which is a big deal in electrical engineering, see this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdaFgdOqq5ucco0.html

Multiplying by i rotates a vector (or a phasor as I really learned it) 90 degrees in the complex plane actually. From what I talked about in the video you can use eulers formula to see that i is the same as e^90i. so multiplying by some other exponential will result in addition of exponents and by adding 90 to the angle but keeping the magnitude the same you end up with the same vector rotated 90 degrees.
@kyukyahua

Multiplying any constant with i just tells that that quantity is just lies in the imaginary axis of the 3d complex graph. Moreover real things which has tendency to holds it's shape and size, under all circumstances, doesn't come near to i. Complex numbers definitely helps us to make the math of something changing or the math of changed quantity w.r.t. some other Changing quantity easier for us to understand.
