- | We write the complex numbers as $a+ib\equiv\langle a,b\rangle$. We can more formally set up the complex numbers as a [[field]] with $i^2=-1$, see [[arithmetic structure of complex numbers]]. They are defined to extend the real numbers $\mathbb R$, identified within $\mathbb C$ as $=\langle a,0\rangle=a+i0=a$. | + | We write the complex numbers as $a+ib\equiv\langle a,b\rangle$, where $a,b\in\mathbb R$. The complex numbers are then set up as a [[field]] with $i^2=-1$, see [[arithmetic structure of complex numbers]]. We identify the real numbers within $\mathbb C$ as the set of elements of the form $\langle a,0\rangle=a+i0=a$. |
