👉 In mathematics, a "hermitlike" object is one that behaves in a similar way to an imaginary number. This can be seen as a simplification of a complex number, where the imaginary part is replaced by zero (a real number). Hermitlike objects are often used in mathematical analysis and geometry for their simplicity and ease of manipulation. Hermitlike numbers are non-real numbers that have no real counterpart. They are defined using the concept of "imaginary" numbers, which are those
