Origin of complex numbers
The English mathematician G.H Hardy remarked that Gauss was the first mathematician to use complex numbers in 'a really confident and scientific way' although mathematicians such as Neil’s Henrik Abel and Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi were necessarily using them routinely before Gauss published his 1831 treatise.
The impetus to study complex numbers as a topic in itself first arose in the 16th century when algebraic solutions for the roots of cubic and quartic polynomials were discovered by Italian mathematicians. It was soon realized (but proved much later) that these formulas, even if one was only interested in real solutions, sometimes required the manipulation of square roots of negative numbers
Imaginary and complex numbers were invented for purely mathematical reasons, because people saw some ugly asymmetries in mathematics with only real numbers. Not all
A complex number is a number that can be expressed in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers, and i is a solution of the equation x2 = -1. Because no real number satisfies this equation, i is called an imaginary number.
