● Introduction to the Complex Number System
The complex number system extends the idea of one-dimensional
number lines (real numbers) into a two-dimensional plane. It allows for
a richer set of mathematical operations and is essential in various fields
such as engineering, physics, and applied mathematics.

What is a Complex Number?

A complex number is defined as a number of the form:

Z = a + bi

Where :

● a is the real part of the complex number.


● b is the imaginary part.
● i is the imaginary unit, defined by the property that i2 = −1.

● Components of Complex Numbers


1. Real Part (a): This represents the conventional number line and
can be any real number.
2. Imaginary Part (b): This part extends the number line into a new
dimension, allowing for the representation of numbers that are
not on the real line.

● Representation
Complex numbers can be represented visually on the Complex Plane,
where:
● The x-axis represents the real part.
● The y-axis represents the imaginary part.

● Operations on Complex Numbers


Complex numbers can undergo various mathematical operations,
including:

1. Addition: Combine two complex numbers by adding their real and


imaginary parts.
2. Subtraction: Subtract by taking the difference of their real and
imaginary parts.
3. Multiplication: Use the distributive property, taking into account
i2= −1.
4. Division: Involves multiplying the numerator and denominator by
the conjugate of the denominator to simplify.
5. Magnitude: The distance from the origin to the point represented
by the complex number.
6. Conjugate: The conjugate of a complex number a + bi is a−bi.

● Applications
1. Engineering: Complex numbers are used in electrical engineering,
particularly in the analysis of alternating current (AC) circuits.
2. Physics: They play a crucial role in quantum mechanics and wave
functions.
3. Mathematics: Complex analysis, a branch of mathematics,
explores functions of complex variables, leading to insights in
various mathematical fields.

● Project Overview
Objective: Implement a class for complex numbers that supports
various operations.

Features
● Class Definition: Define a Complex Number class.
● Attributes: Store the real and imaginary parts.
● Constructor: Initialize complex numbers.

1. Addition
2. Multiplication
3. Division
4. Magnitude
5. Conjugate
6. String representation

1. Addition
Definition: Addition of two complex numbers involves combining their
real parts and their imaginary parts separately. For complex numbers
Z1 = a + bi and Z2 = c + di, the result is a new complex number whose
real part is a + c and whose imaginary part is b + d.
2. Multiplication
Definition: Multiplication of two complex numbers involves using the
distributive property (also known as FOIL for binomials) and applying
the property i2 = −1. The result is obtained by multiplying the real and
imaginary parts, combining them appropriately.

3. Division
Definition: Division of complex numbers involves multiplying the
numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator
to eliminate the imaginary part from the denominator. The result is
expressed in the form of a complex number.

4. Magnitude
Definition: The magnitude (or modulus) of a complex number is a
measure of its distance from the origin in the complex plane. For a
complex number z = a + bi, the magnitude complex number.

5. Conjugate
Definition: The conjugate of a complex number is formed by changing
the sign of its imaginary part. For a complex number z = a + bi, the
conjugate is z = a − bi. Conjugates are useful in simplifying division and
in various mathematical applications.
6. String Representation
Definition: String representation is a way to express a complex number
as a string format, making it suitable for display or output. For a
complex number z= a + bi, the string representation can be formatted
as f" a + bi".

Implementation Steps

1. Define the Complex Number Class

python

Copy code

class Complex Number:

def __init__(self, real, imaginary):

self. real = real

self. imaginary = imaginary

2. Implement Basic Operations

python

Copy code

def __add__(self, other):

return Complex Number(self. real + other. real, self .imaginary +


other .imaginary)
def __sub__(self, other):

return Complex Number(self. real – other .real, self .imaginary –


other .imaginary)

def __mul__(self, other):

real = (self .real * other .real – self .imaginary * other. imaginary)

imaginary = (self. real * other. imaginary + self. imaginary * other


.real)

return Complex Number(real, imaginary)

def __true div__(self, other):

denominator = other .real ** 2 + other. imaginary ** 2

real = (self .real * other. real + self. imaginary * other .imaginary) /


denominator

imaginary = (self. imaginary * other. real – self. real * other.


imaginary) / denominator

return Complex Number(real, imaginary)

3. Additional Methods

python

Copy code
def magnitude(self):

return (self. real**2 + self .imaginary**2) ** 0.5

def conjugate(self):

return Complex Number(self. real, -self. imaginary)

def __str__(self):

return f"{self .real} + {self .imaginary}i"

4. Testing the Class

Create a main function to test your class.

python

Copy code

if __name__ == "__main__":

c1 = Complex Number(3, 2)

c2 = Complex Number(1, 7)

print ("c1:", c1)

print("c2:", c2)

print("Addition:", c1 + c2)
print("Subtraction:", c1 - c2)

print("Multiplication:", c1 * c2)

print("Division:", c1 / c2)

print("Magnitude of c1:", c1.magnitude())

print("Conjugate of c1:", c1.conjugate())

Conclusion
This basic structure gives you a functional implementation of complex
numbers using OOP principles. You can expand it by adding more
features, like parsing complex numbers from strings or implementing
additional mathematical functions.
