Wrong side of the pond thing, you Brits? Or is it that you need to be
ahead of us Colonials... and go all the way to j?


Nope, it depends on whether you're a mathematician or an EE.


Just to make things more confusing, you can also end up using 'j' for
current density as well as 'i' for current... :-)

The problem is that we don't have enough letters...

Slainte,
