Exploiting the Connection to Cartesian Coordinates


Description

This lesson leads into the introduction of matrix notation in the next lesson. The primary purpose of this lesson is to formalize the idea that when the complex number 𝑥 + 𝑖𝑦 is identified with the point (𝑥, 𝑦) in the coordinate plane, multiplication by a complex number performs a rotation and dilation in the plane. All dilations throughout this lesson and module are centered at the origin.
