Lmao not gonna lie, this would be a very intuitive way of teaching a kid negative values.
How is multiplying akin to rotating?
(-1)*(-1) = e^iπ^*e^iπ^ = e^i2π^ = 1
We're looking for ELI5, not ELImathematician
Lol, yeah good luck explaining 'e' to a child who doesn't understand basic multiplication.
Idk how they do it these days, but when I was a kid we learned the alphabet several years before multiplication. /j
