    Actually, it has several applications in electrical engineering including determining the phase of a voltage/current.

    Ok well I didn’t know about that and don't quite know how a number that cannot be represented by normal numbers could be used for something like that but I can accept there are things I don't know and may well not understand.

    It's also useful for determining certain trigonometric functions.

    Not only that, it is used in differential equations. I believe that among the Diff EQ's that use Euler's formula [e^(theta*i) = cos(theta) + i*sin(theta)] to obtain a solution, are equations used in finding resonance frequencies. Resonance, in building construction, is something to be avoided, so i does indeed have real world practical applications.

    Is the cabin the type you find at the front of an aeroplane 🙂

    Lol... I probably would have said that if I had gotten to Calculus in school... alas, I only got to Trig and a litlle Linear Algebra
