Complex Numbers Explained | An Introduction to Complex Numbers

Показать описание
In this video, we look at an introduction to complex numbers. We show why it is necessary to consider i = sqrt(-1) and complex numbers, based on Gauss' fundamental theorem of algebra. We work through examples of adding complex numbers, multiplying complex numbers, dividing complex numbers, graphing complex numbers. We define the complex conjugate and show how to convert complex numbers into polar form. A quick proof of Euler's identity is given. De'Moivre's theorem is discussed, and we show how to compute the roots of complex numbers.

I will watch your progress.
Remember me when this channel gets burst into a big channel and you get your play button, It wont take long according to me.

I got lost at the proof for euler's identity, but that's because this video is too advanced for me right now. Gonna start with your more basic videos and come back to this later.
