When people started classifying numbers in different ways Some numbers were grouped together and called Real numbers. Solutions that would create Imaginary numbers were simply explained away as impossible, later the rules for working with these numbers, but, even though they are not considered Real numbers some math operations will create Real number answers.

What is complex math?
Complex math covers how to do operations on complex numbers. Complex numbers include real numbers, imaginary numbers, and the combination of real+imaginary numbers.
What numbers are not real numbers?
The square root of any negative number is not a real number. denoted as i for imaginary because it does not exist, in the normal concept of numbers.Complex numbers (which include real and imaginary numbers) are combinations of real & imaginary numbers.While these numbers do not exist in the everyday concept of numbers, they are important in concepts of electricity and waves.
In a short explanation what is the real number system?
Real numbers are numbers that can be found on the number line. This includes both the rational and irrational numbers. The Real Numbers did not have a name before Imaginary Numbers were thought of. They got called "Real" because they were not Imaginary.
Which number belongs to the set of complex numbers?
Lots of numbers do. To begin, all real numbers do. Multiples of sqrt(-1), aka. imaginary numbers, do. The Complex Numbers are all numbers which are the sum of a real number and an imaginary number.
Are negative numbers real numbers?
Yes, any positive or negative number is a real number, including 0. Non real (or imaginary) numbers are the ones that have an "i" or "j" such as j1.5 or 1.5i The imaginary numbers come from expressions like sqrt(-1), its impossible to come up with a real answer so the imaginary one would be 1i or i
