(I also don't believe they are necessary to represent tangible things you can hold in your hand or signals that can be characterized by a single instantaneous value, such as the voltage on a wire.) :-) Thanks, everyone, for the warm welcome.

I missed you, too (even if you > don't believe complex numbers don't exist! :).I don't remember _that_ debate. I think I'll need to side with Bishop Berkeley's camp, and contend that complex numbers have the exact same existence as regular numbers -- i.e., none at all, until we think of them. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com Do you need to implement control loops in software?
