Abstract

We need complex numbers to compress and condense long mathematical formulae into shorter and more abstract ones. But we do not need them to describe the world we live in. Such a mathematical world is presented is this paper. It is a world which can be explained to and understood by learners much easier than the usual obscured world full of imaginaries. And it is a geometrical world, not an algebraic one.
