  2. Complex conjugate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_conjugate

    In polar form, if and are real numbers then the conjugate of is . This can be shown using Euler's formula . The product of a complex number and its conjugate is a real number: a 2 + b 2 {\displaystyle a^{2}+b^{2}} (or r 2 {\displaystyle r^{2}} in polar coordinates ).

  3. Complex number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_number

    Complex numbers thus form an algebraically closed field, where any polynomial equation has a root. Many mathematicians contributed to the development of complex numbers. The rules for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and root extraction of complex numbers were developed by the Italian mathematician Rafael Bombelli. [24]

  4. 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.

  5. Positive real numbers - Wikipedia

    In fact, it is an invariant measure with respect to multiplication [,] [,] by a >, just as the Lebesgue measure is invariant under addition. In the context of topological groups, this measure is an example of a Haar measure .

  6. Complex logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_logarithm

    The polar form of a nonzero complex number = + is =, where = | | = + is the absolute value of , and is its argument. The absolute value is real and positive. The absolute value is real and positive. The argument is defined up to addition of an integer multiple of 2 π .

  7. Polarization of an algebraic form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_of_an...

    In mathematics, in particular in algebra, polarization is a technique for expressing a homogeneous polynomial in a simpler fashion by adjoining more variables. Specifically, given a homogeneous polynomial, polarization produces a unique symmetric multilinear form from which the original polynomial can be recovered by evaluating along a certain diagonal.

  8. Euler's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_formula

    φ is the argument of z, i.e., the angle between the x axis and the vector z measured counterclockwise in radians, which is defined up to addition of 2π. Many texts write φ = tan −1 ⁠ y / x ⁠ instead of φ = atan2(y, x), but the first equation needs adjustment when x ≤ 0.

  9. Addition reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition_reaction

    In organic chemistry, an addition reaction is an organic reaction in which two or more molecules combine to form a larger molecule called the adduct. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] An addition reaction is limited to chemical compounds that have multiple bonds .
