| Resident Diabolist | Re: Arithmatic expression vs. set description connotation of the square root Why doesn't it matter? I mean it should be astated in a definition if it is not unique (would have saved me half an hour), so to me it would have matered very much! But I agree in practictal things it doesn't seem to matter...usually ![]() ---------------- Administrator A COUNTRY WITHOUT AN ARMY IS LIKE A FISH WITHOUT A BIKE!!!

| Exhausted Gondolier | Re: Arithmatic expression vs. set description connotation of the square root In the strictest sense there is only one imaginary unit and the other is its additive inverse. However, because the constructive definition of the unit doesn't distinguish between them, it's true that you could exchange them; this is an automorphism of and, unlike changing sign in , not just of the additive group but of the actual field. This automorphism is, of course, complex conjugation.In any case, good question. ![]() ---------------- Who's afraid of the Big Black Hole????? Go Black Hole!
