My abstract algebra book just called out people who complain about “imaginary numbers.”
“This terminology has led generations of students to view the complex numbers with more skepticism than the real numbers.

If there were , it would surely be in a place of honor in some great scientific museum.”
My book is sassy as fuck.

Calculus-based models of the universe are SO derivative." husband: ... me: "I'm an expert on geothermal vents--" husband: Oh my God. me: "--They're probably too deep for you."
