factorization (faktorisering)

Publicerat den september 26, 2012 av mattelararen

Factorization means to decompose a number or polynomial into a product of other objects, called factors, which when multiplied together gives the original number or polynomial. Ex. The number 16 = 2*2*2*2 when factorized into prime numbers. Since prime-numbers can’t be factorized … Fortsätt läsa →

Cauchy’s integral theorem

Publicerat den september 12, 2012 av mattelararen

Cauchy‘s integral theorem states that an analytic function f(z) the line integral around a closed path C is zero. ∫f(z)dz = 0  . This means that the curve integrals over 2 curves with the same endpoints for an analytic function … Fortsätt läsa →

The Cauchy-Riemann equations

Publicerat den september 11, 2012 av mattelararen

In order for a complex function of a  single complex variable to be differentiable it must be differentiable both parallell to the imaginary axis δy →0 and parallell to the real axis δx →0. This condition leads to the CAuchy –Riemann equations- The … Fortsätt läsa →

de Moivre’s formula and complex-conjugation.

Publicerat den september 10, 2012 av mattelararen

(e^ix )^n = cos(nx) + i sin(nx) is called de Moivre’s formula. The formula is named after the 17 th. century French huguenot mathematician Abraham de Moivre. Also the variable in of a function can be a complex number. f(z) … Fortsätt läsa →

Alternative representations of complex numbers

Publicerat den september 9, 2012 av mattelararen

As mentioned in the latest post any complex number may be represented by an arrow in the complex plane. This number is unambiguously described by two numbers: its real part x and its imaginary part y. z= x+iy. This is … Fortsätt läsa →

Imaginary numbers

Publicerat den september 6, 2012 av mattelararen

A solution to the simple second-degree equation x2 + 1 =0 can not be found along the line of real-numbers. Therefore it was necessary to invent a fictive number i such that i2=-1. i.e. the imaginary numbers making it possible … Fortsätt läsa →
