Imaginary Numbers Are Not Imaginary | Jeff O'Connell | TEDxOhloneCollege
In the world of mathematics, where numbers are tangible and real concepts, how do you respond to the unknown? Imaginary numbers are used to define something that otherwise is undefined. In this TED talk, Professor Jeff O'Connell, explains to us why imaginary numbers aren't imaginary, and why it redefines our understanding of mathematics and life. Professor Jeff O’Connell is a proud community college graduate with an AA degree from Diablo Valley College. He has his Bachelors in Applied Math from UC Davis and a Masters in Math from San Jose State University. He started teaching in the Ohlone College Math Department in 1995. In addition to teaching classes, Jeff has given several speaker series talks, including Math is Beautiful, the Golden Ratio, Card Counting, as well as Math in the Movies and on T.V. He is one of the teachers in the Ohlone Math Gateway Program which helps STEM majors accelerate math courses while fulfilling other requirements.
