Enhet 5: Complex numbers

Om dette emnet

Complex numbers are built on the idea that we can define the number i (called "the imaginary unit") to be the principal square root of -1, or a solution to the equation x²=-1. From this starting point evolves a rich and exciting world of the number system that encapsulates everything we have known before: integers, rational, and real numbers.
