Množina: imaginary numbers
A number that must be expressed as the product of a real number and i, where i 2 = 1. The sum of an imaginary number and a real number is a complex number. Although imaginary numbers are not directly encountered in the universe (as in 1.544 i megabits per second), some pairs of quantities, especially in electrical engineering, behave mathematically like the real and imaginary parts of complex numbers. Compare complex number, real number.
Term often used to describe the non-real element of a complex number. For the complex number (a + ib), ib is the imaginary number where i = Ö-1, and b any real number.
