Abstract

As we know, imaginary numbers are square roots of a negative numbers. In this paper, imaginary numbers will be further defined.‎ Every number has a sign to it. A number can either be a positive or a negative, however zero is ‎neither positive nor negative. The number zero is what can be referred to as a neutral number since it does not have any plus or minus signs. In reality, the ‎sign of zero is neutral which is both positive and negative at the same time . The square root of a positive one is both a positive and a negative one . In this paper a new view and discussion has been done for different mathematical operators such as addition, subtraction, ‎multiplication and ‎division and some more idea which has never been considered earlier, called Pelletier Postulate.
