Gaussian integer

noun

Definitions

Noun
  1. 1
    Any complex number of the form a + bi, where a and b are integers.

    "We could say that a Gaussian integer is larger than another if its norm is larger, that is, if its distance from the origin is larger. That's all right, although it has the peculiarity that 5 is larger than -7 as an integer, but smaller than -7 as a Gaussian integer! In a way, this notion of larger makes more sense: shouldn't -7 be considered larger than 5?"
