``Re: Imaginary.html'' by pahio on 2004-03-05 13:10:28

 So, the terminology is different in different parts of the world -- I have known it also before. But, in my opinion, the "Finnish terminology" is somewhat clearer, and I guess that in the history, when the _imaginary_ numbers were introduced (who did it?), nobody thought that the well-known zero were imaginary!
