You mean, she didn’t create the complex numbers?

She must have as the universe seems to run on rules that need negative and complex numbers (also irrationals). Just because humans took a while to discover them doesn't mean that they weren't always existing.

Agreed. I was just wondering about the reductive title, since the reals are a strict subset of the complex.
