1. Complex numbers: modulus, argument and conjugate

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Modulus of a complex number : Modulus is the non-negative distance of a complex number from the origin in the complex plane.
  • Argument of a complex number : Argument is the angle a complex number makes with the positive real axis in the complex plane.
  • Complex conjugate : Complex conjugate is formed by changing the sign of the imaginary part of a complex number.
  • Polar form : Polar form expresses a complex number using its modulus and argument as r(cosθ+isinθ)r(\cos\theta+i\sin\theta).
