Imaginary Unit

In mathematics, the imaginary unit i allows the real number system R to be extended to the
complex number system C.
In electrical engineering and related fields, the imaginary unit is often written as j to avoid
confusion with a changing current, traditionally denoted by i.
Your ClassPad lets you specify either “ i ” or “ j ” for the imaginary unit.

(4) After the setting is the way you want, tap [Set] to apply it and close the Imaginary Unit

dialog box, or tap [Cancel] to close without changing the setting.
