RE: RE: Why do complex zeros come in complex conjugate pairs? /

in #math8 years ago

I hate when I see math that I used to understand. It makes me want to research it until I understand it again. When I have time I'm going to look up complex number basics and, see if you get my math, I'll reread this post 100 times and have, I'll be generous, a 51% probability of fully understanding it.

Sort:  

the basic of complex numbers is quite easy to understand.

They emerged from the Problem x^2 =-1 . Without complex numbers this one is not solvable. So in order to make numbers more complete we added i with the property i^2=-1. You can treat "i" like any constant variable, but when you get i^2 you can replace it with -1.

ah, got it. Thanks!

you are welcome. I am happy to hear it helped you.

Now that's depressing. I'd say just find a problem that interests you and ask if you're stuck.

If only there were more hours in the day ;-)
