“With more than a million YouTube hits, Dr Chris Tisdell is the equivalent of a best-selling author or chart-topping musician. And the unlikely subject of this mass popularity? University mathematics.” [Sydney Morning Herald, 14/6/2012 ht
This ebook makes learning "complex" numbers easy through an interactive, fun and personalized approach. Features include: live YouTube video streams and closed captions that translate to 90 languages!
Complex numbers "break all the rules" of traditional mathematics by allowing us to take a square root of a negative number. This "radical" approach has fundamentally changed the capabilities of science and engineering to enhance our world through such applications as: signal processing, control theory, electromagnetism, fluid dynamics, quantum mechanics, cartography, and vibration analysis. A particularly beautiful connection between art and complex numbers lies in fractals, such as the Mandelbrot set.
