Long back (not so much long back), when I was first introduced to complex numbers, my mind was flooded with strange and interesting curiosities (as they appeared to me!), rather ideas. Of course this realm of mathematics is, as the mathematicians are fond of saying, is remarkably beautiful. As I studied these (complexes!) further and their applications, a strange feeling of asymmetry and limitations developed (Which I will describe no further). But, before that some interesting analogies (which I now suspect to be incorrect) forced me look for some insolvable equations. That time thought of the following equation
[tex]z^{z}+1=0[/tex]
and happily thought that it was unsolvable.
My thoughts were shattered by mathematica (which solved it, but never gave the procedure)
Can anyone help (rather mathematica in hurting me further!) by giving some hints for solving this equation.
