  PlanetMath: Argand diagram
An Argand diagram is the graphical representation of complex numbers written in polar coordinates.
Argand is the name of Jean-Robert Argand, the Frenchman who is credited with the geometric interpretation of the complex numbers [Biography]
This is version 4 of Argand diagram, born on 2001-11-11, modified 2004-04-13.

 Argand diagram
A way of representing complex numbers as points on a coordinate plane, also known as the Argand plane or the complex plane, using the x-axis as the real axis and the y-axis as the imaginary axis.
It is named for the French amateur mathematician Jean Robert Argand (1768-1822) who described it in a paper in 1806.
In the diagram shown here, a complex number z is shown in terms of both Cartesian (x, y) and polar (r, theta) coordinates.

 Complex plane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The complex plane is sometimes called the Argand plane for its use in Argand diagrams.
Under addition, they add like vectors, and the multiplication of complex numbers can be expressed simply using polar coordinates, where the magnitude of the product is the product of those of the terms, and the angle from the real axis of the product is the sum of those of the terms.
Argand diagrams are frequently used to plot the positions of poles and zeros of a function in the complex plane.

 Argand   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
The Argand diagram is taught to most school children who are studying mathematics and Argand's name will live on in the history of mathematics through this important concept.
In this correspondence Jacques Français and Argand argued in favour of the validity of the geometric representation, while Servois argued that complex numbers must be handled using pure algebra.
Argand was a man with an unknown background, a nonmathematical occupation, and an uncertain contact with the literature of his time who intuitively developed a critical idea for which the time was right.
