Definition
, set of complex numbers is the set of numbers in the form of .
Recall that
Therefore,
but the summation is much more straight forward:
C, set of complex numbers is the set of numbers in the form of a+bi.
Recall that i2=−1
Therefore,
(a+bi)(c+di)=ac+adi+bci+bdi2 (a+bi)(c+di)=(ac−bd)+(ad+bc)ibut the summation is much more straight forward:
(a+bi)+(c+di)=(a+c)+(b+d)i
