For 500 years, mathematicians and engineers have been using complex numbers, I believe, without truly understanding them. Moreover, their inability to properly explain the imaginary numbers leaves the mathematics students doubting their own intellectual capability. There is a better way to understand the whole idea. If you ever wondered where `imaginary' numbers came from and why weird expressions like sqrt(-1) and e=2.71828... have their place in complex numbers, this is a visual intuitive guide with answers to those questions.
