A 13-part YouTube video series with visualizations that explains complex numbers and argues that imaginary numbers are as real as real ones, focusing on their rotational meaning.

Commenters call it their favorite video lecture on the topic, praising its visualizations and its 13-part depth.

   A personal matter I suppose, of how comfortable you are with imagining things :^)

   The real/imaginary dichotomy is the confusing part, having a rotational component doesn't make them any less real. O that reminds me, I'll just drop this link for my favorite video lecture on the matter full of visualizations, 13 parts, "Imaginary numbers are real" https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiaHhY2iBX9g6KIvZ_703G3KJ...

   If I had it my way the distinction would be straight and twisted.
