All math is highly interwoven with logic and brain development. Understanding complex and creative ideas is part of your growth as a human being so just accept it and move on.
If you can't get past imaginary numbers you will never be able to comprehend anything to do with frontier science.
MY ADVICE: forget what you have learned about math.
1 apple plus one apple was just a way for you to understand with real objects.
numbers are not real. They are ideas. They are representations of quantifiers. Do not fight it, there is no reason to.
If you are taking a class on existentialism, and your teacher says an orange is black, then that orange is fuckin black. get it? Just instead of existentialism, it's math....
