Re: Why imaginary math has no solution

What it means to a mathematician 'to exist' is
quite a controversial problem

  "To exist" means that it may be given a name, and that one
  may speak about it in statements or formulas or use it in
  a term to denote something.

  For example, one might choose to assume that the solution
  of "x+1=0" exists.

  Then one might give it a name. Let's do this. I call it "E".

  I may speak about it in a statement: "E is a value.".

  I may use it in a formula: "E < 0".

  I may use it in a term: "2*E".
