    Study Notes

    Definition and Notation

    • A complex number is a number of the form a + bi, where:
      • a is the real part
      • b is the imaginary part
      • i is the imaginary unit, which satisfies i^2 = -1

    Properties

    • Complex numbers can be added and subtracted component-wise:
      • (a + bi) + (c + di) = (a + c) + (b + d)i
      • (a + bi) - (c + di) = (a - c) + (b - d)i
    • Complex numbers can be multiplied using the distributive property:
      • (a + bi) * (c + di) = (ac - bd) + (ad + bc)i
    • Complex numbers can be divided using the conjugate:
      • (a + bi) / (c + di) = ((a + bi) * (c - di)) / (c^2 + d^2)

    Conjugate and Modulus

    • The conjugate of a + bi is a - bi
    • The modulus (or absolute value) of a + bi is √(a^2 + b^2)

    Polar Form

    • Complex numbers can be represented in polar form:
      • a + bi = r(cos(θ) + i*sin(θ)), where:
        • r is the modulus (radius)
        • θ is the argument (angle)

    De Moivre's Theorem

    • r(cos(θ) + i*sin(θ))^n = r^n(cos(nθ) + i*sin(nθ))
    • Used to raise complex numbers to integer powers

    Euler's Formula

    • e^(iθ) = cos(θ) + i*sin(θ)
    • Relates exponential and trigonometric functions

    Complex Numbers

    • A complex number is a number of the form a + bi, where a is the real part, b is the imaginary part, and i is the imaginary unit, which satisfies i^2 = -1.

    Properties of Complex Numbers

    • Complex numbers can be added and subtracted component-wise.
    • When adding or subtracting complex numbers, the real parts are added/subtracted, and the imaginary parts are added/subtracted.
    • Complex numbers can be multiplied using the distributive property.
    • When multiplying complex numbers, the real and imaginary parts are multiplied separately.
    • Complex numbers can be divided using the conjugate.
    • When dividing complex numbers, the conjugate of the denominator is used to simplify the expression.

    Conjugate and Modulus

    • The conjugate of a + bi is a - bi.
    • The modulus (or absolute value) of a + bi is √(a^2 + b^2).
    • The modulus represents the distance from the origin to the complex number on the complex plane.

    Polar Form

    • Complex numbers can be represented in polar form: a + bi = r(cos(θ) + i*sin(θ)).
    • r is the modulus (radius) and θ is the argument (angle).
    • Polar form is used to visualize complex numbers on the complex plane.

    De Moivre's Theorem

    • De Moivre's Theorem states: r(cos(θ) + i*sin(θ))^n = r^n(cos(nθ) + i*sin(nθ)).
    • The theorem is used to raise complex numbers to integer powers.
    • It provides a formula for calculating the result of raising a complex number to a power.

    Euler's Formula

    • Euler's Formula states: e^(iθ) = cos(θ) + i*sin(θ).
    • The formula relates exponential and trigonometric functions.
    • It provides a connection between the exponential function and the sine and cosine functions.

    Matrix Determinants

    • The determinant of a matrix is a scalar value that describes the properties of the matrix.
    • Notated as |A| or det(A).
    • Has the following properties:
      • Multiplicativity: det(AB) = det(A) × det(B).
      • Scalar multiplication: det(cA) = c^n × det(A) for an n × n matrix A.

    Linear Transformations

    • A linear transformation is a function between vector spaces that preserves vector operations.
    • Can be represented by a matrix, where the matrix product of the matrix and a vector represents the transformation of the vector.
    • Has the following properties:
      • Linearity: T(av + bw) = aT(v) + bT(w).
      • Composition: The composition of two linear transformations is also a linear transformation.
    • Types of linear transformations:
      • Isomorphism: A bijective linear transformation.
      • Endomorphism: A linear transformation from a vector space to itself.

    Matrix Equations

    • A matrix equation is an equation involving matrices, often used to solve systems of linear equations.
    • Types of matrix equations:
      • Linear systems: AX = B, where A is the coefficient matrix, X is the variable matrix, and B is the constant matrix.
      • Homogeneous systems: AX = 0, where A is the coefficient matrix and X is the variable matrix.
    • Solution methods:
      • Gaussian elimination.
      • LU decomposition.
      • Inverse matrix method.

    Eigenvalues

    • An eigenvalue is a scalar that represents how a linear transformation changes a vector.
    • Eigenvalue equation: AX = λX, where A is the matrix, λ is the eigenvalue, and X is the eigenvector.
    • Properties:
      • Scalar multiplication: If λ is an eigenvalue, then kλ is also an eigenvalue for any scalar k.
      • Linear independence: Eigenvectors corresponding to distinct eigenvalues are linearly independent.
    • Applications:
      • Markov chains.
      • Image compression.
      • Data analysis.

    Matrix Operations

    • Matrix addition: A + B = [aij + bij].
    • Matrix multiplication: AB = [Σ(aik × bkj)].
    • Scalar multiplication: cA = [cai].
    • Matrix transpose: AT = [aji].
    • Matrix inverse: A^(-1) (if A is invertible).
