The square roots of negative number, lately called imaginary numbers, were first mentioned in this time period. Their final comparison is very important and it could be used as a recommendation or inspiration for students - future teachers in mathematics. The third chapter compares four selected textbooks at high school from different period of time and emphasize on explanation of history. It describes the differences in introduction of complex numbers, its definition and main...
