Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

Changed: 2c2
i2 = -1. (In electrical engineering and related fields, the imaginary unit is often written as j to avoid confusion with a changing current.) Every complex number can be written uniquely as a sum of a real number and an imaginary number.
