``Re: Imaginary.html'' by drini on 2004-03-05 12:01:52
Yes, I meant 0 is both imaginary and real
(just like it's als integer, complex, rational, etc).

The purely imaginary vs imaginary I don't think it's standard (it's more matter of style for agiven prof or inside a school), but if you asked me , I would have guessed imaingary is real part = 0 (thus 0 is imaginary) and purely imaginary the complex part different from zero (so 0 wouldn't be purely imaginary)

I guess conventions vary in differents parts of the world.

But yes, I meant 0 is imaginary
