I'm not sure that's true. I have yet to take Abstract Algebra (I'm taking it next year), but in physics, the rotation group SO(2) definately has a strong relation to imaginary numbers. Lie Groups depend heavily on Analytic (infinitely differentiable) functions are important for developing the idea of a generator. Functions in the complex plane generally are very nice in this regard. But I'm not a Mathematician (and technically not a Physicist yet, jsut a major), so uhh, yeah.
