what is complex, plz explain me by giving examples
Have you done 2D linear algebra ? with \[\vec{a} = x \vec{i} + y \vec{j}\] : fondamentally, it is the same principle for number : a complex number is the sum of a real par (Real number), and an imaginary number, fo unit "i", where i² = -1
ahh..
It was invented in Italy, by Cardano and Ferarri (the former stole it from the later when he died :) ). It was used as a method to solve 3rd degree equation, and was shocking at the epoch ("What, we use something different from real, and end up with real solution ? madness !"). But nowaday, it is of many uses.
Complex no.s form is z=x+iy where x is called real part and is a real no and y is called imaginary part and is also a real no. i=sqr-1 a complex no. is for ex: z=3+7i
Has application in several fields such as electronics in calculation of impedance and apparent power (reactive power). The symbol "j" is used rather than "i" in that field as "i" is the symbol for current.
