i  |  √{−1}   (Engelsk)

Definition

The first imaginary number; it is defined by saying that i2 = −1. Note that because i does not lie on the real number line, it is neither greater than nor less than 1. [i\vec] is also used to denote the unit vector in the x direction: x = (
1
0
) in two dimensions or x = (
1
0
0
) in three dimensions. Capital I is used to denote the identity mapping, or the identity matrix.
