Imaginary numbers are strange, fascinating mathematical objects; they were sometimes called "impossible" when they were first recognized and brought into use in sixteenth~century Italy, and it took more than two hundred years for mathematicians to become thoroughly comfortable using them. Through discussions of the role of the imagination and imagery in both poetry and mathematics, Mazur reviews some of the writings of the early mathematical explorers, such as Rafael Bombelli, an engineer who composed his great treatise L'Algebro while engaged in the project of draining the Chiana swamp in Tuscany.
