Multiplication and division in polar form
This leaflet explains how complex numbers in polar form can be multiplied and divided.
In polar form, these operations are particularly simple to carry out.(Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 7.6)
The Argand diagram
This leaflet explains how an Argand diagram is used to provide a pictorial representation of a complex number. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 7.3)
The Argand Diagram
This leaflet explains how complex numbers can be represented pictorially using an Argand Diagram.
There are accompanying videos. Sigma resource Unit 8.
The form r(cos(t) + j sin(t))
