minus-squareGandalfTheDumb@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·17 days agoThat part also got me really confused. All the mathematicans I know use i while engineers use i or j depending on the kind of engineer. I’ve never seen a Pikachu engineer using anything other than j.

i^2 = j^2 = k^2 = ijk = −1This can’t be real
