2.1 Introduction
2.2 Real and imaginary parts of a complex number
2.3 The complex plane
2.4 Terminology and notation
Solution to a quadratic equation:
Example p46.
A complex number has a real part and an imaginary part.

2. Representation of a complex number on the complex plane:
A complex number x + iy can be specified or represented by the following equivalent methods on the complex plane:
The original rectangular form x + iy.
A point with the coordinates (x, y).
A vector that starts from the origin and ends at the point (x, y).
The polar form reiq that satisfies
Example p48.
Modulus (magnitude, absolute value) of a complex number:
Angle (argument, phase) of a complex number:
Example p50.

3. Complex conjugate
The complex conjugate pair z=x + iy and z*=x − iy are symmetric with respect to the x-axis on the complex plane.

B. Complex conjugate of a complex expression
The complex conjugate of any expression is just to change all i’s into –i.

6. C. Finding the absolute value of z
Example p53.2; Problems 5.26,28.
D. Complex equation
Example p54; Problems 5.36,43.
E. Graphs
Complex equations or inequalities have geometrical meanings.
Example p55.1-4; Problems 5.52,53,59.

7. F. Physical applications
The position of a moving particle is represented by a vector. This vector also represents a complex number. Addition and subtraction of complex numbers is analogous to the addition and subtraction of vectors. Therefore the position, speed and acceleration of a particle can be well represented by complex numbers.
However, because the multiplication of complex numbers is not in analogy with the multiplication of the vectors, physical principles involving multiplication of vectors can not be represented by complex algebra. Example: W=F·s.
Example p56.

Notes on trigonometric functions:
sinz and cosz are generally complex numbers. They can be more than 1 even if they are real.

20. February 21 Complex roots and powers 2.13 Logarithms
Notes on logarithms:
We use Lnr to represent the ordinary real logarithm of r.
Because a complex number can have an infinite number of phases, it will have an infinite number of logarithms, differing by multiples of 2pi.
The logarithm with the imaginary part 0q <2p is called the principle value.
Examples p ; Problems 14.3,6,7.

21. 2.14 Complex roots and powers
Notes on roots and powers:
There are many amplitudes as well as many phases for ab.
For the amplitude in most cases only the principle value (0q a<2p and n=0) is needed.
by=0, bx=m or 1/m gives us the real powers and real roots of a complex number.
Examples p ; Problems 14.8,12,14.
