* Learn how complex numbers may be used to solve algebraic equations, as well as their geometric interpretation
* Theoretical aspects are augmented with rich exercises and problems at various levels of difficulty
* A special feature is a selection of outstanding Olympiad problems solved by employing the methods presented
* May serve as an engaging supplemental text for an introductory undergrad course on complex numbers or number theory
This book shows how complex numbers can be used to solve algebraic equations, and to understand the geometric interpretation of complex numbers and the operations involving them. Includes exercises of varying difficulty, many added for this second edition.
It is impossible to imagine modern mathematics without complex numbers. Complex Numbers from A to . . . Z introduces the reader to this fascinating subject that, from the time of L. Euler, has become one of the most utilized ideas in mathematics.
The exposition concentrates on key concepts and then elementary results concerning these numbers. The reader learns how complex numbers can be used to solve algebraic equations and to understand the geometric interpretation of complex numbers and the operations involving them.
The theoretical parts of the book are augmented with rich exercises and problems at various levels of difficulty. A special feature of the book is the last chapter, a selection of outstanding Olympiad and other important mathematical contest problems solved by employing the methods already presented.
The book reflects the unique experience of the authors. It distills a vast mathematical literature, most of which is unknown to the western public, and captures the essence of an abundant problem culture. The target audience includes undergraduates, high school sló„
