Material Detail

Before I get started on this let me first make it clear that this document is not intended to teach you everything there is to know about complex numbers.  That is a subject that can (and does) take a whole course to cover.  The purpose of this document is to give you a brief overview of complex numbers, notation associated with complex numbers, and some of the basic operations involving complex numbers. 

This document has been written with the assumption that you’ve seen complex numbers at some point in the past, know (or at least knew at some point in time) that complex numbers can be solutions to quadratic equations, know (or recall) , and that you’ve seen how to do basic arithmetic with complex numbers.  If you don’t remember how to do arithmetic I will show an example or two to remind you how to do arithmetic, but I’m going to assume that you don’t need more than that as a reminder. 

This will delete the comment from the database. This operation is not reversible. Are you sure you want to do it?
