When you say real world I hope you mean "everyday" rather than "everything above trig is theoretical".
But that's true for the overwhelming majority of people.
We dutifully teach everyone imaginary numbers in high school, and the EE's are probably the lowest rung on the education totem pole that makes practical use of them. And EE's aren't exactly low on that pole.
For everyone else it's "oh you can take the square root of a negative number. That's kinda neat, I guess..."
Okay, I get you now. I think we agree but are just using different terminology to describe things.
Do you need trig for that? I cheated through trig and have put up siding. Just seemed like algebra to me
