A complex number is a number that has both a real part and an imaginary part, typically expressed in the form $a + bi$ where $a$ and $b$ are real numbers, and $i$ is the imaginary unit with the property that $i^2 = -1$. Complex numbers extend the concept of one-dimensional real numbers to the two-dimensional complex plane.
