+ "Some mathematical equations cannot be solved if the solution has to be in the set of the real numbers $\\mathbb{R}$. For example, $x^2 = -1$ can be rearranged into $x = \\sqrt{-1}$, but the square root is not defined for negative numbers. To mitigate this, mathematicians introduced the concept of an [imaginary number ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imaginary_number) $\\textbf{i}$ that is *defined* as $\\textbf{i} = \\sqrt{-1}$ or often as the solution to the equation $\\textbf{i}^2 = -1$. So, the solution to $x = \\sqrt{-1}$ then becomes $x = \\textbf{i}$.\n",

+ "If we generalize the example equation into $(mx-n)^2 = -1 \\implies x = \\frac{1}{m}(\\sqrt{-1} + n)$ where $m$ and $n$ are constants chosen from the reals $\\mathbb{R}$, then the solution to the equation comes in the form $x = a + b\\textbf{i}$, the sum of a real number and an imaginary number, with $a=\\frac{n}{m}$ and $b = \\frac{1}{m}$.\n",
