Re: polar(i)

[Muhali]

I take it that it's not math. But I just don't know what it is then. In which
field is a complex number graphically/geometrically represented the way it
is here? And what problems would it cause if we set

polar(z) = polar(arg(z), abs(z))

I can do that myself, of course, and could accept the present form if there
are prominent examples that do it this way, that is, display the imaginary
unit i to lie on the x-axis at 1. But it really gives me a headache as being
totally unmathematical.

BTW, Matlab does not allow complex numbers for the polar function.
