That part also got me really confused. All the mathematicans I know use i while engineers use i or j depending on the kind of engineer. I’ve never seen a Pikachu engineer using anything other than j.
[Lapsed] mechanical engineering gang checking in. I was also surprised. Though, tbh, I think it came down to personal preference of the professor more than field-wide consensus.
Wait bottom mathematican is using j=√-1 instead of i and not the engineer? Because I’m EE gang, and all my homies use j.

That’s a fucking favorite now. Keeping that in my back pocket.
OPs boyfriend is obviously an i engineer and hates j engineers. No one can stay angry at mathematicians - engineers on the other hand…
The fun starts when you study quaternions
i^2 = j^2 = k^2 = ijk = −1This can’t be real
They’re actually very useful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternion
this isn’t real
