Essentially, the Exp and Log complex functions can be seen as transformations from Polar to Cartesian coordinates, and vice-versa. This is made clear by viewing their actions on the respective grids: the Exp function takes the x-y grid to a grid of rays & concentric circles; whereas the Log function takes us back from rays & circles to the x-y grid.

I'm trying to get ahead of my complex analysis course next semester, thank you very much for making a playlist regarding this course

[lexinwonderland]

Love the content as always! One comment, I wish in the Mathematica images, you would trace the parameter so we can see directly which parts of the curve map to which parts of the modified complex curve... otherwise, fantastic as always, so grateful you're making this so accessible!

I do like this series, It's like been in college again. Superb to keep the touch with such a beautiful subject. Willing the lesson con Cauchy integrals <3

As always, Great content! Thank you for your enormous effort! 🎉💃

Thank you - this is very useful. What would have helped me for the first videos in the series is to compare to real analysis. I got confused by the “second graph” and the entire mapping procedure until I finally understood that while real analysis has dedicated input and output axes, producing one graph on one plane, complex analysis treats both axes equally and maps from a (x, y) input point to another (x2, y2) point on the same plane, so there is both an “input graph” and an “output graph”. This is quite important also for understanding the meaning of a complex integral. I guess this idea is obvious or trivial for a professional like you, but when i approached this topic as a learner for the first time this was a major roadblock in understanding - FYI.

[arturolopezgonzalez]

so, what is the image of first quadrant under complex exponential? is the complement of de unit disk in the plane?

[fordtimelord]

When you introduce the Complex logarithm, I think it would be more intuitive to start off with polar coordinates, Re^(iy).

Also, in teaching and using complex analysis, I think most people will find using tau instead of pi more intuitive.

Thanks a million for doing this from the ground up. Great teaching!

So now we know that e^x can transform a set of 9 lines in a Chaos sigil

[matthewzeits]

Any way to translate the Mathematica examples to gnuplot and octave?

[aniqa]

why exponential turns imaginary y maps into arg of pie in negative of real line and not on positive ??

[ibrahimcirozlar]

Excuse me but is the answer for the 3rd warm up question "if x=e, then Z= e + iy. LogZ = 1 + i * Pi/2 and this makes a straight line through x=1 point and parallel to the y axis." I am just learning Complex analysis and I do not have much experience. If wrong, please correct me. I appreciate your help friends.

Euler's constant !!!!==== Euler's number. I guess you are referring to "Euler's number", not "Euler's constant".

[weisanpang]

The log function on Z and how the 3 branches were "glued" together to form output of infinite spiral, simply extremely poorly explained.

[aniqa]

no one talks about range of y is from pie to -pie

P.S. A piece of advice: make video 1.5 times faster, I speak very slowly)
