Sqrt(-1) is still wrong tho. I'm commuting a sin by writting it. Correct expression is i^2=-1

But (-i)^2=-1 as well. So we still need a convention to distinguish i from -i.

They’re the same thing. You just take the square root of both sides to get i = sqrt(-1).

The problem is those morons haven’t taken any of the advanced classes and probably got D’s in the basic ones.
