Electrical Engineers are the psychos for using j instead of i. Absolutely bonkers.

Yeah, I agree. They messed up the scheme we had going. It was a good thing, and electrical engineers had to come and be all different, confusing everyone else along the way.

From my point of view the mathematicians are evil. I can't stand them using i in my math classes, messing my whole scheme up. Respect for my physics prof in my first semester for switching to use the correct letter j

That's a bit much dude, mathematicians gave us complex numbers. You can't hate too much on the ones who invented our jobs 🤣
