The Mandelbrot set, one of the most famous examples of mathematical visualization.. Mathematical phenomena can be understood and explored via visualization.Classically, this consisted of two-dimensional drawings or building three-dimensional models (particularly plaster models in the 19th and early 20th century).

Addition, negation, and comparison are all defined the same way for both surreal numbers and games. Every surreal number is a game, but not all games are surreal numbers, e.g. the game { 0 | 0} is not a surreal number. The class of games is more general than the surreals, and has a simpler definition, but lacks some of the nicer properties of ...
Imagining Numbers: (particularly the square root of minus fifteen) is a 2003 popular mathematics book by mathematician Barry Mazur. [1] The aim of the book is not a history of imaginary numbers but an attempt to re-create, in ourselves, the shift of mathematical thought that makes it possible to imagine these numbers. [2]
A real number a can be regarded as a complex number a + 0i, whose imaginary part is 0. A purely imaginary number bi is a complex number 0 + bi, whose real part is zero. It is common to write a + 0i = a, 0 + bi = bi, and a + (−b)i = a − bi; for example, 3 + (−4)i = 3 − 4i.
A variation of the "method of loci" involves creating imaginary locations (houses, palaces, roads, and cities) to which the same procedure is applied. It is accepted that there is a greater cost involved in the initial setup, but thereafter the performance is in line with the standard loci method.
The numerical version of the game is usually played with four digits, but can be played with any number of digits. On a sheet of paper, the players each write a four-digit secret number. The digits must be all different. Then, in turn, the players try to guess their opponent's number who gives the number of matches.
