I've never been well-up on complex numbers; can you elaborate on this, please? All I know is that I was taught that the square root of -1 is called i, and that hypercomplex numbers include i, j, k, and maybe even other terms, and I never understood where j comes from. Why is Python better for using j? ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
