For about the 100th time I have been reading a book of science popularization when it stops dead to explain the imaginary and complex numbers from scratch.
It's been almost 250 years since Euler's Elements of Algebra. Maybe it's time to introduce C and a complete coverage of the number system as part of a basic mathematical education in elementary school?
