16.4: Complex Numbers

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

  • 16.4.1: Complex Numbers
    Up to now, you’ve known it was impossible to take a square root of a negative number. This is true, using only the real numbers. But here you will learn about a new kind of number that lets you work with square roots of negative numbers! Like fractions and negative numbers, this new kind of number will let you do what was previously impossible.
  • 16.4.2: Operations with Complex Numbers
    Any time new kinds of numbers are introduced, one of the first questions that needs to be addressed is, “How do you add them?” In this topic, you’ll learn how to add complex numbers and also how to subtract, multiply, and divide them.
