complex − basics of complex mathematics

Complex numbers
are numbers of the form a+b*i, where a and b are real
numbers and i = sqrt(-1), so that i*i = -1.
There are other ways to represent that number. Because the
point z=(a,b) is on a plane you can also define that point
with distance and angle (r,phi). The number
z=r*(cos(phi)+i*sin(phi)) can also be described as
exponential function z=r*exp(i*phi) as found by Euler.
The basic
operations are defined on z = a+b*i and w = c+d*i as:
addition: z+w = (a+c) + (b+d)*i
multiplication: z*w = (a*c - b*d) + (a*d + b*c)*i
division: z/w = ((a*c + b*d)/(c*c + d*d)) + ((b*c -
a*d)/(c*c + d*d))*i
Nearly all math function have a complex counterpart but there are some complex only functions.
Your C-compiler can work with complex numbers if it supports the C99 standard. Link with -lm. The imaginary unit is represented by I.
