Imaginary Numbers

Gary Arndt | Glassbox Media
About this episode

In the history of mathematics, there were several times when mathematicians encountered problems that they didn’t know what to make of.

It wasn’t a case of a problem with a very difficult solution so much as it was a problem that didn’t seem to make any sense. 

In one such case, the resolution of the problem led to an entirely new branch of mathematics.
