Complex Numbers I, Complex Numbers II
The text does not cover Complex Numbers as a topic, so we will rely on notes prepared by Dr. Mike Boyle: 141 complex number notes (C#N). [You can also link to them from the Math Department's course information page.]
There’s also a 141 complex number summary.
Although we won’t be using it directly, you may find 141 complex number notes Hamilton has some useful information.
