Re: Imaginary Number Problem
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: Imaginary Number Problem
Hi ZHero;
The general convention I think is variables and constants in front of the radical. It's supposed to prevent the confusion of what is inside the radical and what isn't, especially when writing it.
