  2. 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.

  3. 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 .

  4. Lagrange's identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange's_identity

    Lagrange's identity for complex numbers has been obtained from a straightforward product identity. A derivation for the reals is obviously even more succinct. Since the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality is a particular case of Lagrange's identity, [4] this proof is yet another way to obtain the CS inequality. Higher order terms in the series produce ...

  5. Argument (complex analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_(complex_analysis)

    Figure 1. This Argand diagram represents the complex number lying on a plane.For each point on the plane, arg is the function which returns the angle . In mathematics (particularly in complex analysis), the argument of a complex number z, denoted arg(z), is the angle between the positive real axis and the line joining the origin and z, represented as a point in the complex plane, shown as in ...

  6. Complex-base system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex-base_system

    In arithmetic, a complex-base system is a positional numeral system whose radix is an imaginary (proposed by Donald Knuth in 1955 [1] [2]) or complex number (proposed by S. Khmelnik in 1964 [3] and Walter F. Penney in 1965 [4] [5] [6]).

  7. Gaussian integer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_integer

    The Gaussian integers are the set [1] [] = {+,}, =In other words, a Gaussian integer is a complex number such that its real and imaginary parts are both integers.Since the Gaussian integers are closed under addition and multiplication, they form a commutative ring, which is a subring of the field of complex numbers.

  8. List of complex analysis topics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_complex_analysis...

    Complex analysis, traditionally known as the theory of functions of a complex variable, is the branch of mathematics that investigates functions of complex numbers.It is useful in many branches of mathematics, including number theory and applied mathematics; as well as in physics, including hydrodynamics, thermodynamics, and electrical engineering.

  9. Complex analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_analysis

    A complex function is a function from complex numbers to complex numbers. In other words, it is a function that has a (not necessarily proper) subset of the complex numbers as a domain and the complex numbers as a codomain. Complex functions are generally assumed to have a domain that contains a nonempty open subset of the complex plane.
