Complex Numbers and the Complex Exponential1. Complex numbersThe equationx2+ 1 = 0 has no solutions, because for any real numberxthe squarex2is nonnegative, and sox2+ 1 can never be less than 1. In spite of this it turns out tobe very useful toassumethat there is a numberifor which one has(1)i2= numberis then an expression of the forma+bi, whereaandbare old-fashioned real Numbers .
