Study Notes
Complex Numbers
- A complex number is defined by the equation: a + bi, where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part, and i is the imaginary unit, which satisfies i^2 = -1.
- The real part of the complex number 3 + 4i is 3.
- The imaginary part of the complex number 2 - 5i is -5.
- The set of complex numbers is denoted by the symbol ℂ.
- Complex numbers are regarded as 'real' in the mathematical sciences because they can be used to model and solve real-world problems that cannot be solved using only real numbers.
