    Definition
    A complex number z in standard form is an expression of the form a + bi where a, b ∈ R. a = ℜ(a + bi) is called
    the real part and b = ℑ(a + bi) is called the imaginary part. A complex number that has no real part is called
    purely imaginary. The conjugate of z := a + bi is z̄ := a − bi.

    Modulus
    The modulus is the distance from the
    √ origin to the complex number. This is commonly denoted as |z|. Let a + bi be
    a complex number, then |a + bi| = a2 + b2 .

    Argument
    The argument is the angle of the line connecting the origin and the point with the positive real axis. This is denoted
    arg(z).

    Graphical Transformation/Representation
    1. The graphical transformation of addition and conjugate.

    Polar Form
    Polar coordinates is a two dimensional coordinate system in which each point on the plane is determine by a distance
    from a reference point and an angle from a reference direction. To convert from complex number to polar coordinate
    (r, θ) = (|z|, arg z).

    Properties of Complex Numbers


    Let z and w be complex numbers, then
    1. z + w = z + w
    2. zw = z w̄
    3. z = z
    4. zz = |z|2

    5. z + z̄ = 2ℜ(z)
    6. z − z̄ = 2iℑ(z)
    7. |z| = 0 if and only if z = 0
    8. z = w if and only if ℜ(z) = ℜ(w) and ℑ(z) = ℑ(w)
    9. |z| = |z|
    10. |zw| = |z||w|
