Name: Complex Numbers, Vectors and Matrices
ID: m10504
Language: English (en)
Summary: This module sets out to instruct about complex numbers: what they are, what they mean, how to manipulate them, and the different ways to describe them (i.e. polar form). The second half of this module proposes to introduce the characteristics of complex vectors and matrices and how they compare to the laws governing standard vectors and matrices.
Subject: Mathematics and Statistics
