Lecture 1.1
Furthermore:
Definition: Two complex numbers z 1 and z2 are equal iff
their real and imaginary parts are equal. Eg
z1 − z2 = z1 + (−z2 )
If z2 = 0 then
z1
= z1 · z2−1 .
z2
z = x − iy.
Rules:
Definition: The angle θ between the real axis and the ray
originating in the origin and going through the complex
number z is called a argument of z, notation: arg z.
Opmerkingen:
The argument of the product of two complex numbers is
the sum of the two arguments (mod 2π). The argument
of the quotient is the difference of the two arguments.
If z1 = r1 (cos θ1 + i sin θ1 ) and z2 = r2 (cos θ2 + i sin θ2 )
then Eg
z1 z2 = r1 r2 cos(θ1 + θ2 ) + i sin(θ1 + θ2 )
Thus, you can work with complex numbers just like you
would with the powers of e. Eg Eg
Corollary:
The complex numbers of the form z = e iθ lie on the
circle with center 0 and radius 1.
The complex numbers of the form z = Re iθ (R > 0
fixed) lie on the circle with center 0 and radius R.
The complex numbers of the form z = z 0 + Re iθ
(z0 ∈ C and R > 0 known) lie on the circle with center
z0 and radius R.

Note:
Important: Practice exercises are always homework,
to be made before the next instruction lecture!
“B-C: 9(2)” points to exercise 2 of §9 from the book of
Brown and Churchill.
“E1” points to the extra exercises for chapter 1 (found
on Brightspace).
