Back when the iMac first came out, I believe the i stood for internet. The iMac was the first computer without a floppy disk drive. The idea was that with the Internet and email becoming so popular, more and more people were emailing files to each other, rather than saving them to a floppy disk.

This part is a guess, but I think the letter i became popular enough, that they decided to use it with the iPod, iphone, and now the icloud.

Are imaginary numbers irrational numbers?

No. Irrational numbers are real numbers, therefore it is not imaginary.


Are there more real numbers than imaginary numbers?

Both imaginary and real numbers are infinite .Answer:Any real number can be turned into an imaginary number by multiplying it by "i" ot "j" (the root of -1). Hence it would appear that the set of all real numbers would equal the set of all imaginary numbers. However 0 (zero) multiplied by anything still equals zero. This would mean that there is at least one number that cannot be converted to an imaginary number.

Why are imaginary numbers used in electronic systems control systems and physics?

Mathematics is beautiful in itself. Back in the 1700s and later, mathematicians studied "imaginary" numbers (numbers that involve a factor of the square root of -1) knowing that they didn't describe anything "real", the way "real numbers" do. But when beauty can be melded to practicality, things get REALLY interesting. It turns out that you can use imaginary numbers and "complex numbers" (which have a "real" component and an "imaginary" component) to describe the way radiation and electromagnetic fields behave.
