2. Split-complex number - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-complex_number

   A split-complex number is an ordered pair of real numbers, written in the form = + where x and y are real numbers and the hyperbolic unit [1] j satisfies = + In the field of complex numbers the imaginary unit i satisfies =

3. Complex number - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_number

   A complex number can be visually represented as a pair of numbers (a, b) forming a vector on a diagram called an Argand diagram, representing the complex plane. Re is the real axis, Im is the imaginary axis, and i is the "imaginary unit", that satisfies i 2 = −1.

4. Division algebra - Wikipedia

   These are of course both associative. For a non-associative example, consider the complex numbers with multiplication defined by taking the complex conjugate of the usual multiplication: = ¯. This is a commutative, non-associative division algebra of dimension 2 over the reals, and has no unit element. There are infinitely many other non ...

5. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_(mathematics)

   For division to always yield one number rather than an integer quotient plus a remainder, the natural numbers must be extended to rational numbers or real numbers. In these enlarged number systems , division is the inverse operation to multiplication, that is a = c / b means a × b = c , as long as b is not zero.

6. Frobenius theorem (real division algebras) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frobenius_theorem_(real...

   As a consequence, the only commutative division algebras are R and C. Also note that H is not a C-algebra. If it were, then the center of H has to contain C, but the center of H is R. This theorem is closely related to Hurwitz's theorem, which states that the only real normed division algebras are R, C, H, and the (non-associative) algebra O.

7. cis (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis_(mathematics)

   x is the argument of the complex number (angle between line to point and x-axis in polar form). The notation is less commonly used in mathematics than Euler's formula , e ix , which offers an even shorter notation for cos x + i sin x , but cis(x) is widely used as a name for this function in software libraries .
