Eh, could say the same about anything. Replace self with Love, God, Satan, etc.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Well, then Russian terms are as stupid.

Well I was answering the question about why is C considered numbers - it's a field, hence elements of C behave exactly like numbers. Moreover, it's an 'algebraic closure' of R, hen…

C (complex numbers) is a field, just like R (real numbers). It's an algebraically closed field, unlike R, so in some sense it's actually the most natural set to call "numbers". htt…

Yeah, you can't do half of these without understanding Calculus.
