by Qiujiang Lu

Overview

The book is inspired by social media users' exceptional laudation for the author's work on redeveloping the foundation of complex numbers from the ground up through first principles. Nowadays complex numbers formed from imaginary numbers have widespread applications in mathematics, physics and engineering. But many learners still have difficulties accepting the existence of the imaginary unit

About the Author

Dr. Qiujiang Lu is an independent researcher and
software developer in Silicon Valley whose work
has re-created the imaginary unit in real life from
first principles, which remained unknown for
500 years since the inception. His past research had
involved discovering the mechanism of ice crystal
growth habit change, an outstanding problem for
more than 50 years in cloud physics that is closely
related to the “thousands’ variations” in snowflakes.
His interests are in physics, mathematics, software,
and their multidisciplinary applications.
