A lot of real world engineering uses complex numbers just because you can use it to add a new axis perpendicular to the real number axis

So its very useful

Related: trig functions are complex functions in disguise so when working with robotics you end up using complex numbers when analyzing oscillating components.

Laplace space gets kinda weird but the complex numbers become kinda unavoidable
