Study Notes
- A complex number is in the form z = a + bi.
- a and b are real numbers.
- i is the imaginary unit, where i = √-1.
Real and Imaginary Parts
- The real part of z, denoted Re(z), is equal to a.
- The imaginary part of z, denoted Im(z), is equal to b.
Complex Plane
- A complex number z = a + bi can be a point (a, b) on the complex plane.
- The real axis is the horizontal axis, representing 'a'.
- The imaginary axis is the vertical axis, representing 'b'.
Modulus and Argument
- Modulus (Absolute Value): |z| = √(a² + b²) which is the distance from the origin to (a, b).
- Argument: tan(θ) = b/a is the angle θ between the positive real axis and the line from the origin to (a, b).
Polar Form
- A complex number z = a + bi can be written in polar form as z = r(cos(θ) + isin(θ)).
- r = |z| is the modulus of z.
- θ = arg(z) is the argument of z.
- Using Euler's formula, the polar form can be written as z = re^(iθ).
Operations
- For z₁ = a + bi and z₂ = c + di:
- Addition: z₁ + z₂ = (a + c) + (b + d)i
- Subtraction: z₁ - z₂ = (a - c) + (b - d)i
- Multiplication: z₁ * z₂ = (ac - bd) + (ad + bc)i
- Division: (z₁ / z₂) = ((ac + bd) + (bc - ad)i) / (c² + d²)
Complex Conjugate
- The complex conjugate of z = a + bi is denoted as z̄ and is defined as z̄ = a - bi.
- z * z̄ = |z|² = a² + b²
- z₁ + z₂ (with a line above) = z₁ (with a line above) + z₂ (with a line above)
- z₁ * z₂ (with a line above) = z₁ (with a line above) * z₂ (with a line above)
- (z₁/z₂) (with a line above) = z₁ (with a line above) / z₂ (with a line above)
De Moivre's Theorem
- For z = r(cos(θ) + isin(θ)) and integer n: z^n = r^n(cos(nθ) + isin(nθ)).
- (cos(θ) + isin(θ))^n = cos(nθ) + isin(nθ)
Euler's Formula
- e^(iθ) = cos(θ) + isin(θ)
