bi$, and is represented by the reflection of $z$ across the real axis on the complex plane\n\n## Basic Operations with Complex Numbers\n- Addition and subtraction of complex numbers are performed by adding or subtracting the real and imaginary parts separately\n - $(a + bi) + (c + di) = (a + c) + (b + d)i$\n - $(a + bi) - (c + di) = (a - c) + (b - d)i$\n- Multiplication of complex numbers follows the distributive law and the property $i^2 = -1$\n - $(a + bi)(c + di) = (ac - bd) + (ad + bc)i$\n- Division of complex numbers is performed by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator to rationalize it\n - $\\frac{a + bi}{c + di} = \\frac{(a + bi)(c - di)}{(c + di)(c - di)} = \\frac{(ac + bd) + (bc - ad)i}{c^2 + d^2}$\n- The reciprocal of a non-zero complex number $z = a + bi$ is given by $\\frac{1}{z} = \\frac{a - bi}{a^2 + b^2}$\n- The complex conjugate has the property $z \\cdot \\bar{z} = |z|^2$, which is useful in simplifying complex expressions and solving equations\n\n## Polar Form and De Moivre's Theorem\n- The polar form of a complex number $z = a + bi$ is $z = r(\\cos\\theta + i\\sin\\theta)$, where $r = |z|$ is the modulus and $\\theta = \\arg(z)$ is the argument\n- The conversion between rectangular form $(a + bi)$ and polar form $r(\\cos\\theta + i\\sin\\theta)$ is given by:\n - $a = r\\cos\\theta$ and $b = r\\sin\\theta$\n - $r = \\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$ and $\\theta = \\arctan(\\frac{b}{a})$\n- Multiplication and division of complex numbers in polar form are simplified:\n - $z_1 \\cdot z_2 = r_1r_2(\\cos(\\theta_1 + \\theta_2) + i\\sin(\\theta_1 + \\theta_2))$\n - $\\frac{z_1}{z_2} = \\frac{r_1}{r_2}(\\cos(\\theta_1 - \\theta_2) + i\\sin(\\theta_1 - \\theta_2))$\n- De Moivre's Theorem states that for any complex number $z = r(\\cos\\theta + i\\sin\\theta)$ and any integer $n$, $z^n = r^n(\\cos(n\\theta) + i\\sin(n\\theta))$\n - This theorem simplifies the calculation of powers and roots of complex numbers\n\n## Roots of Complex Numbers\n- The $n$-th roots of a complex number $z$ are the $n$ distinct complex numbers that, when raised to the power of $n$, equal $z$\n- For a complex number $z = r(\\cos\\theta + i\\sin\\theta)$, the $n$-th roots are given by:\n - $\\sqrt[n]{z} = \\sqrt[n]{r}(\\cos(\\frac{\\theta + 2k\\pi}{n}) + i\\sin(\\frac{\\theta + 2k\\pi}{n}))$, where $k = 0, 1, 2, ..., n-1$\n- The $n$-th roots of unity are the $n$-th roots of the complex number 1, given by:\n - $\\omega_k = \\cos(\\frac{2k\\pi}{n}) + i\\sin(\\frac{2k\\pi}{n})$, where $k = 0, 1, 2, ..., n-1$\n- The roots of unity form a regular polygon on the complex plane, with the first root $\\omega_0 = 1$ at the point (1, 0)\n- The roots of unity have important applications in signal processing, Fourier analysis, and quantum mechanics\n\n## Applications in Real-World Problems\n- Complex numbers are used in electrical engineering to represent sinusoidal signals and to analyze alternating current (AC) circuits\n -

This unit explores how these functions behave in the complex plane, introducing key concepts like analyticity, conformal mappings, and singularities.\n\nStudents learn to visualize complex functions as transformations between planes, applying techniques like the Cauchy-Riemann equations. The unit also covers practical applications in physics, engineering, and mathematics, demonstrating the power of complex analysis in solving real-world problems.","overview":"## Key Concepts and Definitions\n- Complex numbers consist of a real part and an imaginary part, denoted as $z = a + bi$, where $a$ and $b$ are real numbers and $i$ is the imaginary unit ($i^2 = -1$)\n- The complex plane is a 2D representation of complex numbers, with the real part on the horizontal axis and the imaginary part on the vertical axis\n - Each point in the complex plane corresponds to a unique complex number\n - The distance from the origin to a point $z$ is called the modulus or absolute value of $z$, denoted as $|z|$\n- Complex functions map complex numbers from one complex plane (the domain) to another complex plane (the codomain)\n - A complex function $f(z)$ can be written as $f(z) = u(x, y) + iv(x, y)$, where $u$ and $v$ are real-valued functions and $z = x + iy$\n- Limit of a complex function $f(z)$ as $z$ approaches a point $z_0$ is defined as $\\lim_{z \\to z_0} f(z) = L$ if, for any $\\varepsilon > 0$, there exists a $\\delta > 0$ such that $|f(z) - L| < \\varepsilon$ whenever $0 < |z - z_0| < \\delta$\n- Continuity of a complex function $f(z)$ at a point $z_0$ means that $\\lim_{z \\to z_0} f(z) = f(z_0)$\n- Differentiability of a complex function $f(z)$ at a point $z_0$ means that the limit $\\lim_{h \\to 0} \\frac{f(z_0 + h) - f(z_0)}{h}$ exists, and this limit is called the derivative of $f$ at $z_0$, denoted as $f'(z_0)$\n\n## Complex Functions and Their Properties\n- Complex functions can be represented by power series, such as the exponential function $e^z = \\sum_{n=0}^{\\infty} \\frac{z^n}{n!}$ and the logarithmic function $\\log(1 + z) = \\sum_{n=1}^{\\infty} (-1)^{n+1} \\frac{z^n}{n}$\n- The composition of two complex functions $f(z)$ and $g(z)$ is defined as $(f \\circ g)(z) = f(g(z))$\n- The inverse of a complex function $f(z)$, denoted as $f^{-1}(z)$, satisfies $f(f^{-1}(z)) = f^{-1}(f(z)) = z$\n - Not all complex functions have an inverse, and the existence of an inverse depends on the function being one-to-one (injective)\n- Complex functions can be even, satisfying $f(-z) = f(z)$ (cosine function), or odd, satisfying $f(-z) = -f(z)$ (sine function)\n- Periodic complex functions satisfy $f(z + p) = f(z)$ for some non-zero complex number $p$, called the period (exponential function with imaginary argument)\n- Bounded complex functions have an upper limit on their absolute value, i.e., there exists an $M > 0$ such that $|f(z)| \\leq M$ for all $z$ in the domain (constant functions)\n\n## Analytic Functions and Cauchy-Riemann Equations\n- Analytic functions are complex functions that are differentiable at every point in their domain\n - Analyticity is a stronger condition than differentiability, as it requires the function to be differentiable in a neighborhood of each point\n- For a complex function $f(z) = u(x, y) + iv(x, y)$ to be analytic, it must satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations:\n - $\\frac{\\partial u}{\\partial x} = \\frac{\\partial v}{\\partial y}$ and $\\frac{\\partial u}{\\partial y} = -\\frac{\\partial v}{\\partial x}$\n - These equations establish a relationship between the real and imaginary parts of an analytic function\n- Harmonic functions are real-valued functions that satisfy Laplace's equation $\\frac{\\partial^2 u}{\\partial x^2} + \\frac{\\partial^2 u}{\\partial y^2} = 0$\n - The real and imaginary parts of an analytic function are harmonic functions\n- Entire functions are analytic functions that are defined and analytic on the whole complex plane (exponential function, polynomials)\n- Meromorphic functions are analytic functions except at a set of isolated points, called poles, where they have singularities (rational functions)\n- The Cauchy-Riemann equations can be used to find the analytic continuation of a complex function defined on a limited domain to a larger domain\n\n## Mapping Techniques and Transformations\n- Complex functions can be visualized as mappings between two complex planes, transforming shapes and regions from the domain to the codomain\n- Linear transformations of the form $f(z) = az + b$, where $a, b \\in \\mathbb{C}$ and $a \\neq 0$, represent rotation, scaling, and translation in the complex plane\n -
