Thank you for the feedback. That is a very valid complaint and one that is hard to avoid because the complex numbers are basically derived by trying to solve equations like x^2 + 1 = 0. It may be a bit more geometrically intuitive to describe complex numbers as a system of making 2D vectors work with multiplication and division which I sort of touch on later. The explanation is there to provide a brief overview and support the following visualizations, but I will see if I can improve that section.

I didnt really intend it as personal feedback for your post, its as much about my failure to understand as it is the explanations. If its useful to you then great, but on the flip side, dont take it too much to heart :)
