(God created the integers, everything else is made by humans.) Leopold Kronecker (1823–1891) The real numbers have many useful properties. There are operations such as addition, subtraction, and multiplication, as well as division by any nonzero number. There are useful laws that govern these operations, such as the commutative and distributive laws. We can take limits and do calculus, differentiating and integrating functions. But you cannot take a square root of \(-1\); that is, you cannot find a real root of the equation $$ x^2 + 1 = 0. \tag{1.1} $$ Most of you have heard that there is a "new" number that is a root of (1.1); that is, \(x^2 + 1 = 0\) or \(x^2 = -1\). We will show that when the real numbers are enlarged to a new system called the **complex numbers**, which includes \(i\), not only do we gain numbers with interesting properties, but we do not lose many of the nice properties that we had before. The complex numbers, like the real numbers, will have the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, as well as division by any complex number except zero. These operations will follow all the laws that we are used to, such as the commutative and distributive laws. We will also be able to take limits and do calculus. And there will be a root of (1.1). As a brief historical aside, complex numbers did not originate with the search for a square root of \(-1\); rather, they were introduced in the context of cubic equations. Scipione del Ferro (1465–1526) and Niccolò Tartaglia (1499–1557) discovered a way to find a root of any cubic polynomial, which was publicized by Gerolamo Cardano (1501–1576) and is often referred to as **Cardano's formula**. For the cubic polynomial \(x^3 + px + q\), Cardano's formula involves the quantity $$ \sqrt[3]{-\frac{q}{2} + \sqrt{\left(\frac{q}{2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{p}{3}\right)^3}} + \sqrt[3]{-\frac{q}{2} - \sqrt{\left(\frac{q}{2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{p}{3}\right)^3}}. $$ #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 8 Context: ``` # Complex Numbers It is not hard to come up with examples for \( p \) and \( q \) for which the argument of this square root becomes negative and thus not computable within the real numbers. On the other hand (e.g., by arguing through the graph of a cubic polynomial), every cubic polynomial has at least one real root. This seeming contradiction can be solved using complex numbers, as was probably first exemplified by Rafael Bombelli (1526–1572). In the next section we show exactly how the complex numbers are set up, and in the rest of this chapter we will explore the properties of the complex numbers. These properties will be of both algebraic (such as the commutative and distributive properties mentioned already) and geometric nature. You will see, for example, that multiplication can be described geometrically. In the rest of the book, the calculus of complex numbers will be built on the properties that we develop in this chapter. ## 1.1 Definitions and Algebraic Properties There are many equivalent ways to think about a complex number, each of which is useful in its own right. In this section, we begin with a formal definition of a complex number. We then interpret this formal definition in more useful and easier-to-work-with algebraic language. Later we will see several more ways of thinking about complex numbers. **Definition.** The complex numbers are pairs of real numbers: \[ C = \{(x, y) : x, y \in \mathbb{R} \} \] equipped with the addition \[ (x, y) + (a, b) = (x + a, y + b) \quad (1.2) \] and the multiplication \[ (x, y) \cdot (a, b) = (x a - y b, x b + y a) \quad (1.3) \] One reason to believe that the definitions of these binary operations are acceptable is that \( C \) is an extension of \( \mathbb{R} \), in the sense that the complex numbers of the form \((x, 0)\) behave just like real numbers: \[ (x, 0) + (y, 0) = (x + y, 0) \quad \text{and} \quad (x, 0) \cdot (y, 0) = (xy, 0). \] ``` #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 10 Context: ``` # Complex Numbers This identity together with the fact that $$ (x_0, \cdots, x_n) \cdot (x, y) = (ax, az) $$ allows an alternative notation for complex numbers. The latter implies that we can write $$ (x, y) = (x_0, 0) + (0, y) = (x_0, 0) + (0, 1)(0, y). $$ If we think—in the spirit of our remark about embedding R into C—of (x, 0) and (y, 0) as the real numbers x and y, then this means that we can write any complex number (x, y) as a linear combination of (1, 0) and (0, 1), with the real coefficients x and y. Now (1, 0), in turn, can be thought of as the real number 1. So if we give (0, 1) a special name, say i, then the complex number that we used to call (x, y) can be written as $$ x + iy. $$ ### Definition The number x is called the **real part** and y the **imaginary part** of the complex number x + iy, often denoted as Re(x + iy) = x and Im(x + iy) = y. The identity (1.15) then reads $$ i^2 = -1. $$ In fact, much more can now be said with the introduction of the square root of -1. It is not just that (1.1) has a root, but every nonconstant polynomial has roots in C: ### Fundamental Theorem of Algebra (see Theorem 5.11). Every nonconstant polynomial of degree d has d roots (counting multiplicity) in C. The proof of this theorem requires some (important) machinery, so we defer its proof and an extended discussion of it to Chapter 5. We invite you to check that the definitions of our binary operations and Proposition 1.1 are coherent with the usual real arithmetic rules if we think of complex numbers as given in the form x + iy. *The names have historical reasons: people thought of complex numbers as unreal, imagined.* ``` ########## """QUERY: what are complex numbers?"""

They are represented in the form a + bi, where 'a' and 'b' are real numbers. Here's a breakdown: * **Real Part:** The 'a' in a + bi is called the real part of the complex number. * **Imaginary Part:** The 'b' in a + bi is called the imaginary part of the complex number. * **Imaginary Unit:** The 'i' represents the square root of -1. **Why are they important?** Complex numbers are essential because they allow us to solve equations that have no solutions in the real number system, like x² + 1 = 0. They also have applications in various fields, including: * **Mathematics:** Solving polynomial equations, calculus, geometry * **Physics:** Electromagnetism, quantum mechanics * **Engineering:** Signal processing, control theory **Think of them like this:** Imagine a number line where you can only move left and right. That's the real number system. Complex numbers add a new dimension, allowing you to move up and down as well. This extra dimension is where the imaginary unit 'i' comes in.
