It's just more math, Mohan. Insomuch as -. +, x, / etc are operators, j or i are also operators, as described above, and they have a practical use in problem solving in the real world. It is not hard to "get" at all, since the explanation is quite clear as far as it goes and it is not necessary to show how it is used in the practical sense if you can't get past that.

Infinity is a concept, and can only be used in establishing a range in limit calculations, something you won't cover in your academic courses for some time. My suggestion is to stay with the current course curriculum and don't jump ahead of yourself. The explanations will come in time if you have good instructors.
