This calculator does basic arithmetic on complex numbers and evaluates expressions in the set of complex numbers. A complex number z can thus be identified with an ordered pair rez, imz of real numbers, which in turn may be interpreted as coordinates of a point in a twodimensional space. Once you are confident, you can take the quiz to establish your mastery. Nearly any number you can think of is a real number. Euler has become one of the most utilized ideas in mathematics.

In his elementary algebra text book, elements of algebra, he introduces these numbers. There are several ways to represent a formula for finding \nth\ roots of complex numbers in polar form.
As per jee syllabus, the main concepts under complex numbers are introduction to complex numbers, argument of a complex number, modulus of a complex number, conjugate of a complex number, and different forms of a complex number. The modulus of a complex number is the distance from the origin on the complex plane. Notice that the absolute value of a real number gives the distance of the number from \0\, while the absolute value of a complex number gives the distance of the number from the origin, \0, 0\.
