    Is this an I, or a hint that her feelings are complex?

    I don’t remember nearly enough science stuff to get most of the jokes here. Oh well.

      If I’m not wrong, I think the square root of minus 1 is an imaginary number which is represented by i

      Don’t ask me anymore questions about this if you want real answers because I genuinely don’t know any more.

        Yep, sqrt(-1) = i. Powers of i are actually really neat imo since they form a loop: i^0 = 1
        i^1 = i
        i^2 = -1
        i^3 (or i^2 x i or -1 x i) = -i
        Now the loop starts:
        i^4 = i^2 x i^2 = 1 x 1 = 1
        i^5 = i^4 x i^1 = 1 x i = i
        etc
        Any evaluation of i to the power k boils down to i^(k%4). For example, i^726 = i^2 = -1. I know this was super useful in calc 1 or 2 and not used for any of my other math classes, it’s just a fun concept to me

    As my math teacher said:

    Ich ziehe meine Wurzel aus einer Unbekannten.

    Sorry, I don’t think this works when translated.

        Meaning a: I take the root of a variable

        Meaning b: I pull my “root” out of an unkown woman

      Ich kenn den anders. Wahre Mathematik ist es, wenn man schon morgens seine Wurzel aus einer Unbekannten zieht xD
