Abstract

A mathematical symbol generally used to denote the imaginary unit, the constant √(−1). Note that some authors use j for this purpose. Although such “imaginary” numbers had been used by the Italian mathematician Girolamo Cardan (1501–1576) in 1545 and other mathematicians subsequently, it was the Swiss mathematician and physicist, Leonhard Paul Euler (1707–1783) who introduced the symbolic notation i (Euler 1748). An example of early use in geophysics is Macelwayne and Sohon (1932). See also: complex conjugate, complex number.
