Imaginary Numbers by Jeff “Dr Chordate” Moran

Imaginary numbers ever can be found
When you need to express numerals compound.
In geometric measure or square roots negative,
Something bearing, getting pleasure from my wild calculations.
Imaginary numbers, I’ll use you everywhere.
Imaginary numbers, oh, yeah . . .

When ordinary numbers don’t give you what you need,
And real-life equations lose their thrill,
Imaginaries solve the problem.
Imaginary numbers. Imaginary numbers.
You’re fine, anytime.

Imaginary numbers, says Rene Descartes,
Always good for when you need
The roots of minus numerals.
Imaginary numbers. Imaginary numbers.
In Leonhard Euler’s house.
Imaginary numbers. Oh, Friedrich Gauss . . .
