My brother is a math teacher and refuses to teach imaginary numbers for many of the same reasons I deny their existence.
I also want to know how the hell we came up with negative numbers. As if you can have less than zero. I have three apples, and you take four of my apples. How many apples do I have left? That's a bogus problem. I didn't have enough apples for you to take four.
Someone once told me negative numbers were introduced with debt. But when you're in debt, you don't have a negative amount of money. You owe a positive amount of money.
So, in conclusion, negative and imaginary numbers are bull.
