Complex numbers were first introduced in connection with explicit formulas for the roots of cubic polynomials.
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.

In mathematics, a complex number is an expression of the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers, and i stands for one of the square roots of negative one (−1).
In mathematics, the adjective "complex" means that the field of complex numbers is the underlying number field considered, for example complex analysis, complex matrix, complex polynomial and complex Lie algebra.
Given a complex number (a + bi) which is to be divided by another complex number (c + di) whose magnitude is non-zero, there are two ways to do this; in either case it is the same as multiplying the first by the multiplicative inverse of the second.

 Complex numbers
Complex numbers were originally introduced in the seventeenth century to represent the roots of polynomials which could not be represented with real numbers alone.
Because a complex number can always be separated into its real and complex parts, we can represent a complex number as a point on a two-dimensional plane.
The real part of a complex number is the projection of the point onto the real axis, and the imaginary part of the number is the projection onto the imaginary axis.

Points in the plane, and thus complex numbers, also have a polar coordinate representation (r, θ), where r is the distance of a point from the origin, and θ is the angle counterclockwise from the positive x axis to the line segment from the origin to the point.
The sum is the complex number at the far corner of the parallelogram, represented by the arrow from the origin to that point.
That is, to multiply complex numbers in polar form, we multiply the moduli (lengths) and add the arguments (angles).

 Mental Representation
Representational theories may thus be contrasted with theories, such as those of Baker (1995), Collins (1987), Dennett (1987), Gibson (1966, 1979), Reid (1764/1997), Stich (1983) and Thau (2002), which deny the existence of such things.
In philosophy, recent debates about mental representation have centered around the existence of propositional attitudes (beliefs, desires, etc.) and the determination of their contents (how they come to be about what they are about), and the existence of phenomenal properties and their relation to the content of thought and perceptual experience.
According to Kosslyn (1980, 1982, 1983), a mental representation is "quasi-pictorial" when every part of the representation corresponds to a part of the object represented, and relative distances between parts of the object represented are preserved among the parts of the representation.

 The Origin of Complex Numbers
Complex analysis can roughly be thought of as the subject that applies the theory of calculus to imaginary numbers.
In an 1831 paper, he produced a clear geometric representation of x+iy by identifying it with the point (x, y) in the coordinate plane.
As time passed, mathematicians gradually refined their thinking, and by the end of the nineteenth century complex numbers were firmly entrenched.

Complex numbers did not come about from this example, but in connection with the solution to cubic equations.
For years after Bombelli's work, many still thought complex numbers were a waste of time, but there were others who used complex numbers extensively and through their work, much more was discovered.

In contrast, when the simple node representation is used, remote peer groups can choose to communicate through the local peer group, but the remote group must rely on border nodes within the local peer group to determine the path within the local peer group.
The disadvantage of complex node representation is that it adds to the size of the database in remote peer groups.
Complex node representation also requires more processing resources on the LGN that represents a peer group as a complex node.

 Calculation of Cosmological Baryon Asymmetry in Grand Unified Gauge Models (1982)
Real and complex representations appear in many models; pseudoreal representations are rare, since they must be used in a ``doubled'' form to allow construction of mass terms for scalar fields.
Fermions are usually placed in complex representations; this prevents the possibility of group-invariant fermion mass terms (allowed by chiral symmetries) and avoids unobserved right-handed fermions coupled to the weak current.
In general, the presence of a large vacuum expectation value for a Higgs field in a complex representation of the gauge group lowers the rank of the effective gauge symmetry by breaking at least one of the U(1) invariances associated with the Cartan subalgebra.

 PARKA-DB: A Scalable Knowledge Representation System
In contrast to knowledge representation systems, the upper bound on the size of a database is not limited by the size of main memory, but rather by the size of external storage.
They allow a complex structural representation of the data (knowledge) that allows inferencing and complex query evaluation to be performed.
As a functional knowledge representation system, PARKA-DB is designed to support several applications including CaPER, a memory-intensive case-based reasoning system, ForMAT, a case-based logistics planning system developed by Mitre Corporation, and a set of medical informatics programs being developed at the University of Maryland (by Merwyn Taylor).

 A Representation of Complex Movement Sequences based on Hierarchical Spatio-temporal Correspondence for Imitation ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Problems concerning the movement representation are twofold: (1) The movement characteristics of observed movements have to be transferred from the perceptual level to the level of generated actions.
We present methods for the representation of complex movement sequences that addresses these questions in the context of the imitation learning of writing movements using a robot arm with human-like geometry.
In this poster we focus on the acquisition of the movement representation (identification and segmentation of movement primitives, generation of new writing styles by spatio-temporal morphing).
