It is to Argand's essay that the scientific foundation for the graphic representation of complex numbers is now generally referred.
If the matrix is viewed as a transformation of a plane, then the transformation rotates points through an angle equal to the argument of the complex number and scales by a factor equal to the complex number's absolute value.
The conjugate of the complex number z corresponds to the transformation which rotates through the same angle as z but in the opposite direction, and scales in the same manner as z; this can be described by the transpose of the matrix corresponding to z.

Argand is famed for his geometrical interpretation of the complex numbers where i is interpreted as a rotation through 90 degrees.
However, Argand was not a professional mathematician either, so when he published his geometrical interpretation of complex numbers in 1806 it was in a book which he published privately at his own expense.
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.

 Complex Numbers - Complex Plane
Since the description of complex numbers as points in the plane is often associated with the work of Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855),
is also sometimes referred to as the Argand plane; in this case, a plot of complex numbers is referred to as an Argand diagram.
Similarly, it can be noticed that the number i corresponds to the point (0, i) in the complex plane and corresponds to the point (0, 1) in the Cartesian plane.

 Argand Diagrams   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Argand diagrams are graphs with both a real and imaginary axis, the area covered by the diagram is known as the complex plane where any complex number can be represented by a point.
The only problem that we may encounter when drawing Argand diagrams is when both a and b are negative and therefore (b/a) is positive.
We must be aware of these cases and look out for them, the only way of getting around them is to find the angle and then use the signs of a and b to work out which quadrant should be used.

 Trigonometric function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
All triangles are taken to exist in the Euclidean plane so that the inside angles of each triangle sum to π radians (or 180°).
The unit circle can be thought of as a way of looking at an infinite number of triangles by varying the lengths of their legs but keeping the lengths of their hypotenuses equal to 1.
In this way, trigonometric functions become essential in the geometric interpretation of complex analysis.

 Complex Numbers and Geometry
It was not until Jean Robert Argand gave a concrete, geometric picture for this number, which related it to the "real" number line, that mathematicians began to accept i as more than a figment of their imagination, and started to refer to it as a "complex" number, after Gauss popularized the term.
This picture was finally conceived, in 1806 by Jean Robert Argand, and is often called an "Argand diagram".

 Introduction to DSP - IIR filters: IIR filter design by the bilinear transform
The problem with which we are faced is to transform the analogue filter design into the sampled data z plane Argand diagram.
The problem of aliasing arises because the frequency axis in the sampled data z plane Argand diagram is a circle:
One way around this is to warp the analogue filter design before transforming it to the sampled data z plane Argand diagram: this warping being designed so that it will be exactly undone by the frequency warping later on.

Each parcellular state of this complex metaspace, represented by a vector in the Argand plane, will map conformally onto another by way of complex functions wherever the real component AB is non-zero.
In other words in each case the orbit of the phase point projects from the plane to the line of the parcellular axis as a moving cursor that arbitrarily depicts AB or BA, being symmetrical with respect to these positive and negative directions.
In this force case the lower bound of momentum in every direction is that of "true rest", and the asymmetry of inertia may increase in a reciprocal limit which, along any one dimension, is also just c, in which case the proper rest state of a node becomes as anisotropic as possible.
