We develop the properties of the number system called the complex numbers. We also describe derivatives and integrals of some basic functions of complex numbers.
Complex NumbersMost people first encounter complex numbers as solutions of quadratic equations x 2 + bx + c = 0, that is, zeros z of the function f (x) = x 2 + bx + c.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
