As a programmer I think it is my job to be good at math but I am having trouble getting my head round imaginary numbers. I have tried google and wikipedia with no luck so I am hoping a programmer can explain in to me, give me an example of a number squared that is <= 0, some example usage etc... ...
I need to compute imaginary exponential in C. As far as I know, there is no complex number library in C. It is possible to get e^x with exp(x) of math.h, but how can I compute the value of e^(-j), where j = sqrt(-1)? ...
I got back from the weekend to discover that somebody *ahem* had missed a file commit last thing Friday afternoon... Cruise control has been having fun, and tried to re-build every five minutes since then despite no further commits. This means that my colleagues and I have received approximately six hojillion emails from cruise control....
Yesterday I created this piece of code that could calculate z^n, where z is a complex number and n is any positive integer. --snip-- float real = 0; float imag = 0; // d is the power the number is raised to [(x + yi)^d] for (int n = 0; n <= d; n++) { if (n == 0) { real += pow(a, d); } else { // binomial theorem switch...
