I thought it would be interesting to see what some of the different types of numbers are in Japanese. <\/p>\n

\u00e4\u00ba\u0152\u00e5\u2026\u0192\u00e6\u2022\u00b0 can also refer, in a broad sense, to complex and split complex numbers as well.<\/p>\n

I think the japanese words for the higher dimensional numbers are particularly interesting. Somehow the more direct representations seem like they would be easier to understand than the latin prefixes. <\/p>\n
