  1. Do complex numbers really exist? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Complex numbers involve the square root of negative one, and most non-mathematicians find it hard to accept that such a number is meaningful. In contrast, they feel that real numbers have an obviou...

  2. complex numbers - Why is $ |z|^2 = z z^* $? - Mathematics Stack …

    May 9, 2014 · I've been working with this identity but I never gave it much thought. Why is $ |z|^2 = z z^* $ ? Is this a definition or is there a formal proof?

  3. complex numbers - Parametrizing shapes, curves, lines in $\mathbb {C ...

    Feb 24, 2015 · Your second question was how does one go about parametrizing in the Complex plane. Draw the plot. Determine the direction of motion--counter clockwise or clockwise. Pick a starting …

  4. What is the dot product of complex vectors?

    Oct 6, 2017 · This complex "dot product" is sometimes called a Hermitian form. This specific separate term serves as a way to make it clear that it might not comply with the usual definition of a dot …

  5. complex numbers - Evaluating $\cos (i)$ - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Nov 27, 2020 · Then it is well defined on the complex plane as well and Euler's formula gives us its real and imaginary parts. However Euler's formula still valid for any complex number and makes bridges …

  6. complex numbers - Why is $i^2$ equal to $-1$? - Mathematics Stack …

    It is useful in many deep areas of mathematics, but as a starting point, it serves as a solution to x2 + 1 = 0 x 2 + 1 = 0. I recommend looking deeper into the theory of complex numbers, particularly the polar …

  7. "Where" exactly are complex numbers used "in the real world"?

    Jan 24, 2013 · 50 Complex numbers are used in electrical engineering all the time, because Fourier transforms are used in understanding oscillations that occur both in alternating current and in signals …
