Imagining Numbers: (particularly the square root of minus fifteen) is a 2003 popular mathematics book by mathematician Barry Mazur.[1] The aim of the book is not a history of imaginary numbers but an attempt to

re-create, in ourselves, the shift of mathematical thought that makes it possible to imagine these numbers.[2]

The book was published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
