[edit] IMAGINARY TALE

Complex numbers have such widespread use, that few people would expect their derivation story to be filled with enigma. Here, the author tells the history of one of mathematics' most elusive numbers, the square root of minus one. He also talks about the mathematical problems that conjured it up, and the characters who tried to solve them.
