complex analysis - What's ie, and why is there an imaginary part?

I am not sure if this is a straightforward question, since I am not familiar with complex analysis.



i^e = e^{(i*π/2)*e} = (e^{iπ})^{e/2} = (-1)^{e/2}



I think that's somewhat right, but when I put this into a calculator an imaginary part also comes out.




Is this because of e?
