	Imaginary number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although Descartes originally used the term "imaginary number" to mean what is currently meant by the term "complex number", the term today usually means a complex number with real part equal to 0, that is, a number of the form ib.
		One way of viewing imaginary numbers is to consider a standard number line, positively increasing in magnitude to the right, and negatively increasing in magnitude to the left.
		Imaginary numbers have essential concrete applications in a variety of sciences and related areas such as signal processing, control theory, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, and cartography.

	Imaginary part - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, the imaginary part of a complex number z, is the second element of the ordered pair of real numbers representing z, i.e.
		The complex function which maps z to the imaginary part of z is not holomorphic.
		The "imaginary current" y is related to the current when the voltage is zero.

		Having an imaginary companion appears to be an ongoing and changing process because a child doesn't necessarily play with the same imaginary companion throughout childhood.
		Imaginary companions described by the children came in a fantastic variety of guises, including invisible boys and girls, a squirrel, a panther, a dog, a seven-inch-tall elephant and a "100-year-old" GI Joe doll.
		"Imaginary companions have had a bad rap from psychologists for a long time, and there was the perception that parents were getting the message that having an imaginary companion wasn't healthy," she said.

		Likewise, the hospitalization of a parent, the death of a relative or neglect on the part of a parent may cause a child to adopt an imaginary friend.
		By listening to the "conversations" your child has with an imaginary friend, you may be able to discern some of the child's fears and conflicts.
		Children may vigorously defend the existence of their imaginary friend, but they usually know that they are just pretend.

	Imaginary Friends Common Among Older Children
		"Imaginary companions have had a bad rap from psychologists for a long time, and there was the perception that parents were getting the message that having an imaginary companion wasn't healthy," says researcher Stephanie Carlson, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Washington, in a news release.
		Researchers say playing with an imaginary friend is a form of fantasy and plays a role in child development, helping children learn to think and deal with emotions.
		Researchers found most imaginary friends played with by older children were invisible, but about half of younger children play with imaginary friends that were based on props, such as special toys.

		Contrary to what some people might tell you, imaginary numbers are not numbers that only exist in the brains of weird people.
		Or maybe they are; all numbers in math are "imaginary" in the sense that you can't touch them or experience them directly.
		Imaginary numbers are numbers that can be written as a real number times i.

		Children get by with the help of their friends, and imaginary friends might be some of the most helpful, suggests a study that challenges the traditional view that well-adjusted kids give up pretend pals after preschool.
		About two-thirds of children have played with imaginary companions by age 7, and one-third still have them at 7, according to the first study that follows children's pretend play partners from age 3 through early elementary school.
		Kids who have imaginary friends feel just as competent and popular as those who don't, and their personalities are no different, says Marjorie Taylor of the University of Oregon.

	AboutOurKids.org \| When Your Child's New Friend is Imaginary
		At a younger age imaginary friends were more likely to be based on a physical object, such as a stuffed animal, more girls than boys were likely to have imaginary friends, and parents were more likely to know about the imaginary friend.
		Imaginary friends eventually disappear, but if a child continues to focus only on an invented companion you might consider consulting a professional to determine if the child has any underlying concerns or anxieties.
		In general, however, an imaginary friend is a sign that your child is dealing with the complex issues that confront all young children as they interact with the world around them.

		In two self-report studies involving comparisons between college students with and without memories of imaginary companions, Dierker, Davis and Sanders (1995) found differences on measures of imaginative involvement, such as interest in and use of fantasy and belief in the paranormal, among women and on measures of normative dissociation among both genders.
		In summary, research on children with and without imaginary companions suggests that children with imaginary companions may be predisposed to engaging in fantasy play and may have heightened imaginative abilities in comparison to their peers.
		Lastly, we investigated whether the imaginary companion group was more prone than were their peers to become involved in externally created fantasies, such as those provided by reading fiction or watching movies.

		An imaginary result meaning that the values in some sense don't count is comparable to what happens with the separation formula in Relativity: An imaginary result ("space-like separation") means that you can't get there from here in space-time.
		The conjugate axis of a hyperbola is, in a sense, an imaginary measurement.
		That there actually are no imaginary numbers now does not mean that they are nothing: They exist conceptually, or intentionally, in representation, which is as much reality as they need before some operation produces real numbers and real results.

		Not, of course, the most original story in the world, however it does spend a great deal of time humanizing their parents, the 'imaginary heroes' that failed in their sons' eyes.
		For teenagers, who tend to put responsibility for their failures on their parents but yet refuse to accept any real responsibility on their own, the movie sends a powerful message, that in the end we all have our own troubles we need to deal with, and that we all make our own paths.

		The scenes she shares with Hirsch (The Girl Next Door) are the only reasonably affecting moments in Imaginary Heroes; the two are believable as a mother and son bound by their shared sense of being outsiders.
