Imaginary Numbers

The video tutorial explores the limitations of real numbers in mathematics and introduces imaginary numbers as a solution. It explains how imaginary numbers, represented by 'i', allow mathematicians to perform calculations that real numbers cannot, such as finding the square root of negative numbers. The tutorial highlights the historical development of imaginary numbers and their practical applications in solving complex polynomial equations and real-time modelling. These numbers enable faster solutions in dynamic situations, such as vehicle shock absorption and space shuttle stabilization.
