Undefined? That's an interesting idea.

e: now double checking apparently a lot of people do define square root so that its domain is (-∞,∞) instead of [0,∞), but that's dumb and I'm pretty sure it breaks useful identities so I will ignore it
e2: I refuse to acknowledge principal square roots for numbers that aren't in R+ and I will die on this hill for reasons unrelated to it being almost 6 in the morning
e3: R+ including 0, of course. good night

You can't even plot most equations properly in a graph if you limit yourself to R+, any system where it leaves big unexplainable holes in your graphs when you could have nice smooth continuous curves is clearly a bad system

I assume Staltran is doing a bit? Although the complex plane does break ordering (a greater than b) and it was a strong argument against complex numbers.

IIRC at the start of the 20th century there was a significant contingent of professional mathematicians who still hadn't accepted negative numbers.


What and when was the sword in Homestuck? I fell off during a big hiatus, just before John (gently caress I think his name was John) got the cosmic/comic retcon powers and before Vriska got retconned back.

The SORD…… is pretty early in the comic, relatively speaking. Certainly well before you’d have fallen off, but it’s a stupid gag in between a whole lot of equally stupid gags that it’s entirely fair to forget it entirely.

It was my understanding that negative real numbers (and imaginary/complex numbers) didn't have principal square roots. So -1 would have two square roots, i and -i, but √-1 would be undefined, what with the numbering issue. Apparently I was remembering wrong though.

I was mostly doing a bit in the edits, but tbh I still don't like it. It's not even continuous for negative reals (on the complex plane). So inelegant, even if it's useful for something. Alas I am not true royalty, so I went to bed instead of continuing to melt over it.

e: Also the secret name of god not actually being defined would be a funny troll by YISUN
