What is a complex number? • It is a tool to solve an equation.
What is a complex number? • It is a tool to solve an equation. • It has been used to solve equations for the last 200 years or so.

Complex • i is an imaginary number
Complex • i is an imaginary number • Or a complex number
Complex • i is an imaginary number • Or a complex number • Or an unreal number
Complex? • i is an imaginary number • Or a complex number • Or an unreal number • The terms are inter-changeable unreal complex imaginary
Some observations • In the beginning there were counting numbers 1 2
Some observations • In the beginning there were counting numbers • And then we needed integers 1 2

So where do unreals fit in ? We have always used them. 6 is not just 6 it is 6 + 0i. Complex numbers incorporate all numbers. 3 + 4i 2i 1 0.41 2 -1 0 -3
A number such as 3i is a purely imaginary number • A number such as 6 is a purely real number
A number such as 3i is a purely imaginary number • A number such as 6 is a purely real number • 6 + 3i is a complex number
A number such as 3i is a purely imaginary number • A number such as 6 is a purely real number • 6 + 3i is a complex number • x + iy is the general form of a complex number
A number such as 3i is a purely imaginary number • A number such as 6 is a purely real number • 6 + 3i is a complex number • x + iy is the general form of a complex number • If x + iy = 6 – 4i then x = 6 and y = -4
A number such as 3i is a purely imaginary number • A number such as 6 is a purely real number • 6 + 3i is a complex number • x + iy is the general form of a complex number • If x + iy = 6 – 4i then x = 6 and y = –4 • The ‘real part’ of 6 – 4i is 6
