Having gone through chapters 1-3, most of 6 and parts of chapters 4 and 7, I can highly recommend this to any non-mathematician who wants to know more about the history and math of i . Decent knowledge of calculus and basic trigonometry is recommended to get the most out of this book (and pencil&paper in some cases). Also|.com |At the very beginning of his book on i, the square root of minus one, Paul Nahin warns his readers: "An Imaginary Tale has a very strong historical component to it, but that does not mean it is a mathematical lightweight. But don't read too

Today complex numbers have such widespread practical use--from electrical engineering to aeronautics--that few people would expect the story behind their derivation to be filled with adventure and enigma. In An Imaginary Tale, Paul Nahin tells the 2000-year-old history of one of mathematics' most elusive numbers, the square root of minus one, also known as i. He recreates the baffling mathematical problems that conjured it up, and the colorful ch...
