waigl,

Congrats, your girlfriend is imaginary.

PoisonedPrisonPanda,

This meme become even better

Sibbo,

Is this an I, or a hint that her feelings are complex?

Imaginary feelings

bstix,

She misses the imaginary root.

arin,

Complex relationship

Dabundis,

j miss you :^)

redballooon,

Maths, not engineering!

Dabundis,

i will always be current. j will always be the square root of -1. Nothing will ever override this in my brain

Cthulhu1,

J is the current density!

Dabundis,

Capital J is current density, lowercase j is √1

I don’t remember nearly enough science stuff to get most of the jokes here. Oh well.

Afghaniscran,

If I’m not wrong, I think the square root of minus 1 is an imaginary number which is represented by i

Don’t ask me anymore questions about this if you want real answers because I genuinely don’t know any more.

Okay, that’s a deal. And thanks!

finestnothing,

Yep, sqrt(-1) = i. Powers of i are actually really neat imo since they form a loop: i^0 = 1
i^1 = i
i^2 = -1
i^3 (or i^2 x i or -1 x i) = -i
Now the loop starts:
i^4 = i^2 x i^2 = 1 x 1 = 1
i^5 = i^4 x i^1 = 1 x i = i
etc
Any evaluation of i to the power k boils down to i^(k%4). For example, i^726 = i^2 = -1. I know this was super useful in calc 1 or 2 and not used for any of my other math classes, it’s just a fun concept to me

threelonmusketeers,

Powers of (1/√2 + i/√2) form a nice loop as well :)

doctorcrimson,

She really did miss him with that one.

Natanael,

It’s not even capital i

doctorcrimson,

Maybe

0^M^ r^2^ dM

Would work better?

usernamesaredifficul,

this guy and his imaginary girlfriend. He sure has a complex relationship

Well ackshuwally uppercase I denotes the identity matrix :P

Imaginary girlfriend lmao

froh42,

As my math teacher said:

Ich ziehe meine Wurzel aus einer Unbekannten.

Sorry, I don’t think this works when translated.

Johanno,

I pull up the root of an unknown.

froh42,

Meaning a: I take the root of a variable

Meaning b: I pull my “root” out of an unkown woman

Ich kenn den anders. Wahre Mathematik ist es, wenn man schon morgens seine Wurzel aus einer Unbekannten zieht xD

Kept reading that as iota. “I ought to” miss you

octoperson,

U R my number -e^iπ^

Masimatutu,
@Masimatutu@mander.xyz avatar

In my humble opinion e^iτ^ is a lot prettier

bloubz,

I don’t really like this syntax. √ should be used on positive reals only

That’s my take, change my mind

    Read the room Buddy, I’m talking about syntax. You can write i²=-1, but not use √ on complex or negative reals

    Btw this is a statesian website, we all know the US has terrible maths syntax and conventions

    Reading the comments here made me think about this!

    hanni,

    Math Miss You
