In mathematics, a complex number is an element of a number system that extends the real numbers with a specific element denoted i, called the imaginary...

In algebra, a split-complex number (or hyperbolic number, also perplex number, double number) is based on a hyperbolic unit j satisfying j 2 = 1. {\displaystyle...

Bernhard Riemann, is a model of the extended complex plane (also called the closed complex plane): the complex plane plus one point at infinity. This extended...

In mathematics (particularly in complex analysis), the argument of a complex number z, denoted arg(z), is the angle between the positive real axis and...

multiplication by a complex number of modulus 1 acts as a rotation. The complex plane is sometimes called the Argand plane or Gauss plane. In complex analysis,...

respectively. This complex exponential function is sometimes denoted cis x ("cosine plus i sine"). The formula is still valid if x is a complex number, and is also...

{\displaystyle \Gamma (z)} is due to Legendre. If the real part of the complex number z is strictly positive ( ℜ ( z ) > 0 {\displaystyle \Re (z)>0} ), then...
