You see, you have ImaginaryNumbers?, and RealNumbers, and then you put them together and draw them in 2D. On an ArgandDiagram?.

               I
               ^
               |
              i|       * (1+i)
               |
               |
 ------------------------------> R
      -1      0|       1      2
               |
             -i|
               |
               |

Just like that. :)

And then you say "Ooh, they're complex numbers, don't y'know? But that doesn't mean they're hard..." And everyone replies "MathMo!"...

Hmm...
