Euler's identity .. mathematicians used their imagination to find the square roots of negative numbers (just as i use mine to enable a 500-foot purple elephant score goal for Barcelona).
playing chess requires imagination.

does the OP play chess at all ?
Thanx Tantale!!
Stevie knows it!
put 2 math symbols together in the wrong order and the result is i.
next up ..... Schrodinger's cat.
Hhhhhh...I've laughed too much this afternoon...it's time for a catnap.
Can we discuss the second law of schrodingers cat later?
don't forget the catnip, Stevie!
My eyes are boggled now..Got a bit o' tetris head going on..That's it i'm off.

Again, the sqaure root of negative numbers is undefined. See previous page.
you're not very good at getting jokes, are you ?

This thread just keeps getting better and better.

It doesn't define i that way; it merely says that that is the way i is typically introduced, whether correctly, or incorrectly.

It says "i=sqrt(-1)", which is false.
"The development of the complex number system C in precalculus or algebra 2
texts usually follows one of two paths:"
It's merely referring to how elementary algebra textbooks typically develop the complex number system; mathematics at this level is not entirely rigorous , and such hand waving notions as i=sqrt(-1) are introduced. It's not supporting such a formulation; it's merely taking note of it's practice in secondary school.
Ultimately everything is related to Mathematics. In a very real sense chess is a branch of Mathematics. You have a small set of rules and based on those rules you attempt to draw conclusions.
Yes, chess and math are related--the are 2nd cousins...
They also are third cousins, because one of their grandmother's nephews married his grandfather's niece.

For mathematicians everything is maths. Also law, medicine, sex...
Not finite systems such as chess
