1.1 Complex Number
Consider a physics problem in which power is being measured. For example, a
sinusoidal equation (having sine wave form) is written as
y = A sin ωt
Where y is lateral displacement of medium particles and A is amplitude of this
wave and ωt = θ is angular displacement.
t
y
Power associated with this wave is
P = y2
= A2
sin2
(ωt)
For a complete cycle, sin2
(ωt) is 1. So, power is proportional to square of ampli-
tude of sinusoidal wave. Let this sinusoidal wave is an electric alternate current.
So, power associated with AC is also proportional to square of amplitude.
Pele = A2
If this AC is connected with a Capacitor or Inductor, net power consumed in
circuit is zero. It means
PAC + PCap = 0 ⇒ PAC = −PCap
It means A2
= −A2
Cap. If we know about the applied AC wave amplitude, then
A2
= k (a numeric value). So
A2
Cap = −k (1.1)
It means, power at capacitor is negative quantity. Now come to the defini-
tion of complex number. In algebra, specially with quadratic equations, form

to complex quadratic equation z2

Solution The given quadratic equation of complex base is z2
+ 4 = 0. On
solving it, we have z = ±2i. Now, there are two cases
When z = +2i In this case
bi = +2i
It gives b = 2. This is first solution.
When z = −2i In this case
bi = −2i
It gives b = −2. This is second solution.
1.1.1 Mathematical Requirement
For a given right angle triangle, relation between perpendicular (p), base (b)
and hypotenuse (h) is given by Pythagoras Theorem as
h2
= b2
+ p2
Here, base and perpendicular are taken along the horizontal and vertical axis
respectively assuming that base and perpendicular are both positive.
b
p
h
b
p
h

Using Pythagoras theorem, we can transform h2
= b2
+ p2
relation into two
mutually perpendicular directions (base b and perpendicular p; real values) as
shown in above figure. Here, base is horizontal axis and perpendicular is vertical
axis and line joining the heads of base and perpendicular is hypotenuse. This
relation also shows that there are possibilities for a group of three numbers which
may satisfy this relation too. In other words, sum of square of two numbers is
equal to the square of third number. For example, (3, 4, 5), (5, 12, 13), (6,
8, 10) etc. Now the question is that, is it possible to represent the relation
h2
= b2
−p2
into two mutually perpendicular axes in a plane for any given three
numbers? Yes, with some conceptual presumptions. We first try to convert
h2
= b2
− p2
into two mutually perpendicular axes (base b and perpendicular p;
real values) in a plane. To do so, this relation would be make similar to relation
h2
= b2
+ p2
. To do so, we convert the given relation as
h2
= b2
− p2
⇒ h2
= b2
+ j2
p2
⇒ h2
= b2
+ (jp)2
Where j2
= −1. Now
b
jp
h
b
jp
h
Here, vertical value is scaled by a factor j. Here scaling factor j is either
directional or −1. Hence, it either represents to the direction of the term or
makes square value negative in nature ((2j)2
= −4). As we knew from the
numerical system, that squaring of any number, either positive or negative, is
always positive value. For example, 22
= 4 and (−2)2
= 4. But here we are
getting a negative value (−p2
), which is mathematically impossible. That is
why, in this case we called vertical axis as imaginary axis and any real value
parallel to this vertical axis is assigned a symbol ‘i’ or ‘j’ (whatever you can
understand easily), denoting that this value is along the imaginary axis. The
plane that contains imaginary axis is called complex plane. Due to similarity,
+j represents to the upward direction of imaginary vertical axis and −j will
represent to the downward direction of the imaginary vertical axis.
Importance Sometimes when we are dealing with electrical powers or other
parameters where we increase input A2
(say) but the set-up opposes this input
by B2
(say) and giving output as
C2
= A2
− B2
There, we can use complex number rules to solve the resultant value C easily
in terms of A and B. The electrical circuits containing inductor and capacitors
are solved easily by using complex number rules.

8 Complex Analysis
Complex Conjugate We know that
h2
1 = b2
− p2
= b2
+ j2
p2
= b2
+ (jp)2
and
h2
2 = b2
+ p2
= b2
+ (−j)2
p2
= b2
+ (−jp)2
Here, h1 and h2 are same values in complex plane if we assume that j and
−j represent only direction of the p parallel to vertical imaginary axis. In this
case, j and −j are called mutual complex conjugate factors. The numbers those
are obtained by replacing j by −j and vice-versa are called complex conjugate
numbers.
1.1.2 Geometrical Requirement
Complex numbers are very critical to two dimensional plane axes. A complex
number can be represented in a plane with real and imaginary axes as shown
below:
Re
Im
σ
i
All real numbers can also be written in complex form. For example, 2 can be
written as complex number z1 = 2±0i. Similarly, −2 can be written as complex
number z2 = −2 ± 0i. Remember that, negative sign with coefficients only tells
about the direction along axes. For example, −2 is marked in negative side of
the real axis from the origin at distance magnitude of 2 while −2i is marked
along the negative side of imaginary axis at distance magnitude of 2.

Solution The complex number is z = 2 + i0. This lies in real axis of
the complex plane. Note that, in complex number system, the geometrical
approach is more important than numerical approach. Therefore, before going
to numerical approach, we must be clear about the geometrical position of the

inary axis. Note that, in complex number system, the geometrical approach is

1.1.3 Conventions
We are encountered two ways of representation of complex numbers. First is
z = a ± b i and second is z = a ± i b. Now, the question rises, which convention
shall be used? Here, both conventions have same meaning if we consider the sign
of imaginary part with symbol of imaginary number representation, i.e. i. For
example, a complex number z1 = a − bi represents that, real part is along the
+x-axis while imaginary part is along the −y-axis. Therefore, to make clarity
in the complex number representation, it can also be rewritten as z = a+b(−i).
But this appears awkward, therefore, representation has more clarity if this

number is written as z1 = a − i b. Here, it is clear that the real value b is
along the −y-axis i.e. −i axis. Some times, in complex plane, imaginary axis is
represented by j symbol. There may be several reasons for this. In vector we
always represent y-axis by ĵ and in complex plane, y-axis is taken as imaginary
axis. Therefore, in several branches of science and mathematics, imaginary part
is represented as j b. In electrical engineering, i is replaced with j and complex
numbers are represented as
z = a ± j b
Where, a and b are real numbers. a and ±j b are real and imaginary parts of the
complex number respectively. So, we should use any of the given conventions
wisely as our requirement.
Solved Problem 1.8 Find the imaginary parts in the complex numbers z1 =
1 + j2, z2 = −1 + 2j, z3 = 2i and z4 = 1. Also find the real part of complex
numbers z1 and z3.
Solution The imaginary parts of the complex numbers z1, z2, z3 and z4
are j2, 2j, 2i and 0 respectively. The imaginary parts in complex numbers z1
and z2 are represented in form of j conversion, in i convention form in complex
number z3 and z4 has no imaginary parts. The real parts of complex numbers
z1 and z3 are 1 and 0 respectively.
1.1.4 Representation
A complex number is that number which consists imaginary value. The com-
plex number, denote by z, consists real numbers say x and y in following
manners.
z = {(x, y) : x, y ∈ R}
A complex number is written as
z = x ± iy (1.2)
A complex number has two parts, i.e. real part and imaginary part. Imaginary
part consists a symbol i. Here, x and y are real numbers. In vector space, x
represents to the component of vector along x axis and y represents the compo-
nent of vector along y axis. The point (x, y) represents the tip of vector when
its tail is at origin (0, 0).

When a complex number in complex plane is represented in polar form, i.e.
in modulus and argument then the circle having radius |z| is called circle of
complex number.

1.1.5 Modulus And Argument
In polar coordinate system, a complex number can be written as (r, θ) where r
is the length of vector and θ is the angular displacement of vector with respect
to positive x axis. If vector is rotates about origin then length of subtended arc,
s, on the circle of radius r = |z| is s = r × θ = rθ.

From above figure relation between Cartesian and polar form of complex
number can be given as
x = r cos θ; y = r sin θ
Squaring both equations and adding them, we get the vector length, i.e. radius
of complex circle or modulus of the complex number.
r =
p
x2 + y2 (1.3)
Here, x and y are the coefficients of the real and imaginary parts of the complex
number. Dividing y by x, we get the argument of the complex number given in

polar form.
tan θ =

x
(1.4)
Argument is also represented by φ. A complex number may also be written as
modulus (r) and argument (θ) form as
|z| = r 6 θ
Note that before computing the magnitude and argument of a com-
plex number, ensure that denominator is always a real number. If
not so, convert denominator into a real number.
Solved Problem 1.9 Find the imaginary and real part of the complex number
z = 2 − 3i. What is its modulus and argument?
Solution The given complex number z = 2 − 3i when compared with stan-
dard format of complex number z = a + bi, the real part is 2 and imaginary
part is −3i. Modulus of the complex number is given by
|z| =
p
22 + (−3)2 =
√

The imaginary part of the complex number is negative in nature, while real part
is positive. So, the complex point is in fourth quadrant of complex plane. So,
the argument of the complex number is
θ = tan−1

These are the required answers.

32 + 3)2 =

The imaginary and real parts of the complex number are positive. So, the

Solved Problem 1.11 What is the radius of the circle of complex number z = 3i.
Solution We know that the radius of the circle of complex number is its
modulus, hence
r = |z| =
p
02 + 32 = 3
So, the radius of the circle of complex number is 3 unit.

Solved Problem 1.12 If z1 = 3i and z2 = −3i then represent these numbers in
form of r 6 θ form. Also find the z1 + z2 in r 6 θ form.
Solution For z1, r =
p
02 + 32 = +3. −3 can not be accepted as radius of
a circle would be never negative. Now, argument of z1 would be along the +y
axis, so, it is
θ = tan−1

3
0

= 90◦
Note that 3i is along the positive y axis. So,
z1 = 36 90◦
Again for z2, r =
p
02 + 32 = +3. −3 can not be accepted as radius of a circle
would be never negative. Now, argument of z2 is in −y-axis (or say negative
imaginary axis), so
θ = tan−1

−3
0

= 270◦
Note that −3i is along the negative y axis. So,
z2 = 36 270◦
For z1 +z2 = 3i−3i = 0i. It means two complex numbers (complex numbers are
also vectors) in opposite direction when summed will give zero complex number.
So,
z1 + z2 = 06 0◦
These are required answers.
A point is to be remember that for same tangent on complex plane polar
and Cartesian coordinates may be different. For example tan θ =
−y
−x
=
y
x
gives same tangent for two coordinate points, one is (x, y) and second
is (−x, −y). Similarly for tan θ =
y
−x
=

gives same tangent for two
coordinate points, one is (−x, y) and another is (x, −y).

It is confusing to get the actual tangent for the same two or more result.

Hence, during problem solving we have first obtain the actual quadrant
where point lies before finding the tangent of complex number numerically.

Solution The given complex number is z = −1 + i. The real part of this
number is along negative x-axis (−σ or say negative real axis) while its imaginary

Solved Problem 1.27 Show that log(−2) 6= − log 2.
Solution We have given that log(−2) which is equal to y (say). Now,
y = log(−2) ⇒ −2 = 10y
For any value of y, either negative or positive, 10y
will be positive between
(0, ∞). For example, taking arbitrary positive and negative value for y as −50,
0 and 50. The corresponding results are

Similarly, the equivalent complex numbers of Im = −5 and Im = 0 are z2 =
0 − 5i and z2 = 0 − 0i respectively.

purely real number if its imaginary part is zero. So,

Solved Problem 1.43 Find the value of k for which z = (2+ik)(3+4i) is purely
imaginary complex number.

Solution A purely imaginary complex number has no real part. So, from
the given problem,
z = (2 + ik)(3 + 4i)
should have zero real part. Now, expanding this relation
z = 6 + 3ik + 8i + 4ki2
= (6 − 4k) + (3k + 8)i
is a purely imaginary number if its real part is zero. So,
6 − 4k = 0 ⇒ k =

Hence value of k is 3/2.
1.1.9 Equality Between Two Complex Numbers
If two complex numbers (say z1 and z2) are exactly equals then their real and
imaginary parts should be equal separately. For example, if z1 = x + yi and
z2 = a + bi and z1 = z2 then there must be x = a and y = b.
Solved Problem 1.44 Find the value of a and y if z1 = 2 + yi and z2 = a − i are
equal.
Solution If z1 and z2 are equal to each other then their real and imaginary
parts should be equal separately. Now,
z1 = z2 ⇒ 2 + yi = a − i
Comparing the real and imaginary parts separately, we have a = 2 and y = −1.
These are the required results.
Solved Problem 1.45 Find the value of a and b, if the complex number z = a+bi
satisfy to the relation
z − 2
z + 1
= 2.
Solution The given relation is
z − 2
z + 1
= 2
On solving it, we have z = −4. Substituting the complex number in left side,
a + bi = −4
Comparing real and imaginary parts both sides, we have a = −4 and b = 0.
These are required results.

Scaling
Scaling of complex number is done to make two undequal numbers equal under
the set rules. For example, take two numbers z1 = 2 + 3i and z2 = 1 + i
which are not equal. To make them equal, we must scale one of them by adding
constants independently into real and imaginary parts. So, to make these two
numbers equal, we have to add h in real part and k in imaginary part in z2 as
z2 = (1 + h) + (1 + k)i. Now, we can say that z1 = z2 with scaled constants h
and k.

1.1.11 Polar Form of Complex Number
Generally complex number is denoted by z and given by (x + iy), where x,

i · i = −1. In geometrical plane i denotes the complex number (0, 1) and
geometrical coordinate (x, y) is written as (x, y) = x(1, 0)+y(0, 1). In a complex
number, z = x + yi, x is called real part of complex number and denoted by

Complex Conjugate
If z = (x + iy) is a complex number then z̄ is called complex conjugate of the
complex number and is given by changing the sign of imaginary part.
z̄ = x − yi
For a complex and complex conjugate number
mod(z) = mod(z̄)
And
arg(z) = − arg(z̄)
1.1.12 About Other Than Origin
Assume a complex number z = x + iy is defined not about origin but about
another complex point a = h + ik then it is defined by
z − a = (x − h) ± i(y − k) (1.9)
The domain of complex number is 0 |z − a| R, i.e. domain of the complex
number is larger than circle of complex number a and less than the circle of
complex number z. Here, |z| = R while |z − a| = r.

1.1.13 Properties of Complex Number
If z and z̄ are complex and corresponding complex conjugate number then
Property If z and z̄ are two complex and mutually conjugate numbers, and
|z|, and |z̄| are their magnitudes respectively then Re(z1z̄2) ≤ |z1z̄2|.
Exp.
1. Let z = x+ yi and z̄ = x− yi are two mutually conjugate numbers. Now
product of them is
zz̄ = (x2
+ y2
) + i(0)
Its real and imaginary parts are
Re(zz̄) = x2
+ y2
; Im(zz̄) = 0
Therefore, magnitude of zz̄ is
|zz̄| =
p
(x2 + y2)2 + 0 = x2
+ y2
From above both relations, it is proved that Re(zz̄) = |zz̄|.
2. Again if z1 = x1 + y1i and z̄2 = x2 − y2i are two conjugate numbers.
Now their product is
z1z̄2 = (x1x2 + y1y2) + i(x2y1 − x1y2)

Re(z1z̄2) = x1x2 + y1y2; Im(z1z̄2) = x2y1 − x1y2
The magnitude of it is
|z1z̄2| =
p
(x1x2 + y1y2)2 + (x2y1 − x1y2)2
It is clear that |z1z̄2| has an additional positive sum. Therefore Re(zz̄) |zz̄|.
Now, from above both cases, it is proved that
Re(z1z̄2) ≤ |z1z̄2| (1.12)
Property If z and z̄ are complex conjugate numbers, and w and w̄ two another
complex conjugate numbers then zw̄ + wz̄ = 2 Re(zw̄).
Exp. Let z = x + yi and w = a + bi are two complex numbers then their
complex conjugates are z = x − yi and w = a − bi respectively. Now
zw̄ = (x + yi) · (a − bi) = (xa + by) − (xb − ya)i
wz̄ = (a + bi) · (x − yi) = (ax + yb) − (ay − xb)i
And
zw̄ + wz̄ = 2(ax + by) − 0 = 2 Re(xa + by) (1.13)
Property If z1 and z̄1 are complex conjugate numbers then z1z̄1 = |z1|2
.
Exp. Let z = x + yi and z = x − yi are complex conjugate numbers. Now
z1 · z̄1 = x2
+ y2
=
p
x2 + y2
2
= |z|2
(1.14)
Property If c 0 and c is constant value then proof ofthat |c · z| = c|z|.
Exp. Let z is a complex number as z = a + ib. Now
c · z = ca + icb
Again
|c · z| =
p
(ca)2 + (cb)2 = c
p
a2 + b2 = c|z|
This is proof of the property.
Property If z and z̄ are complex conjugate numbers then show that
z
|z|
=
abs(1). Here, abs is defined as
abs(x) =

−x if x 0
x if x ≥ 0

42 Complex Analysis
Exp.
Property If z is a complex number and z̄ is complex conjugate then real part
of the complex number z is given by Re(z) =
z + z̄
2
.
Exp. Let z and z̄ are complex and complex conjugate numbers. So, if
z = a + ib then z̄ = a − ib. When these are summed, we get
z + z̄ = a + ib + a − ib = 2a
Now, real part is
Re(z) =
2a
2
=
z + z̄
2
Property If z is a complex number and z̄ is complex conjugate then imaginary
part of the complex number z is given by Im(z) =
z − z̄
2
.
Exp. Let z and z̄ are complex and complex conjugate numbers. So, if
z = a+ib then z̄ = a−ib. To get the positive imaginary part, subtract complex
conjugate (z̄) from complex number (z̄), we get
z − z̄ = a + ib − a + ib = i × 2b
Now, imaginary part is
Im(z) =
i × 2b
2
= ib =
z − z̄
2
Property If z and w are two complex numbers then z + w = z̄ + w̄.
Exp. Let z and w are two complex numbers. So, if z = a+ib then w = x+iy.
Sum of these two complex numbers is
z + w = a + ib + x + iy = (a + x) + i(b + y)
Now
z + w = (a + x) − i(b + y) = a − ib + x − iy = z̄ + w̄
Property If z and w are two complex numbers then z · w = z̄ · w̄.
Exp. Let z and w are two complex numbers. So, if z = a+ib then w = x+iy.
Product of these two complex numbers is
z · w = (ax − by) + i(ay + bx)

Now
z · w = (ax − by) − i(ay + bx)
Now, complex conjugates of z and w are z̄ = a − ib then w̄ = x − iy. Product
of these complex conjugate numbers is
z̄ · w̄ = (ax − by) − i(ay + bx)
Thus z · w = z̄ · w̄.
Property If z is a complex numbers then ¯
z̄ = z.
Exp. Let z is a complex numbers as z = a + ib. Now, complex conjugate of
z is z̄. So
z̄ = a − ib
Taking conjugate of z̄ again, we have
¯
z̄ = a + ib = z
Hence, ¯
z̄ = z.
Property If z is a complex numbers then |z| = |z̄|.
Exp. Let z is a complex numbers as z = a+ib. Complex conjugate of z is z̄.
So z̄ = a − ib. Now taking modulo of complex and complex conjugate numbers,
we have
|z| =
p
a2 + b2
and
|z̄| =
p
a2 + b2
Hence, |z| = |z̄|.

of the function f(z) =

z − 1
.
Solution f(z) is function of complex number and it is fractional complex
number. So, first we would convert denominator into pure real number. Before
doing so, we first simplify the function by substituting the z in f(z).
f(z) =
z + 1
z − 1
=
1 + i + 1
1 + i − 1
=

Now, we would convert denominator into a real number by multiplying its nu-
merator and denominator by complex conjugate of denominator of the function.
So

Solution
Property If z is a complex number and |z| is its magnitude, then domain of
its real part is −|z| ≤ Re(z) ≤ |z|.
Exp. Let z = x + iy is a complex number where x and y are real numbers.
Re(z) = x; Im(z) = y

|z| =
p
x2 + y2
Or
x2
+ y2
= |z|2
Or
x2
= |z|2
− y2
Here, y2
is subtractive for ∀y ∈ R. So, for maximum range of domain of x, y
should be zero. Now,
x2
= |z|2
Or
x = ±|z| ⇒ Re(z) = ±|z|
Therefore, the domain of its real part is −|z| ≤ Re(z) ≤ |z|.
Property If z is a complex number and |z| is its magnitude, then domain of
its imaginary part is −|z| ≤ Im(z) ≤ |z|.
|z| =
p
x2 + y2
Or
x2
+ y2
= |z|2
Or
y2
= |z|2
− x2
Here, x2
is subtractive for ∀x ∈ R. So, for maximum range of domain of y, x
should be zero. Now,
y2
= |z|2
Or
y = ±|z| ⇒ Im(z) = ±|z|
Therefore, the domain of its real part is −|z| ≤ Im(z) ≤ |z|.
Property If z is a complex number then |z| ≤ | Im(z)| + | Re(z)|.
|z| =
p
x2 + y2

46 Complex Analysis
And
| Re(z)| = |x|; | Im(z)| = |y|
Or
|x| + |y| = | Re(z)| + | Im(z)|
If x 0 and y 0 are two real numbers then
p
x2 + y2 is always greater than
both x and y but lesser than or equal to x + y. Hence |z| ≤ | Im(z)| + | Re(z)|.
Property If z and w are two complex numbers. |z| and |w| are their magni-
tudes respectively then |z + w| ≤ |z| + |w|.
Exp. Let two complex number z and w. The sum of two complex number
is z + w. Modulus of the sum of complex number is |z + w| and its square is
|z + w|2
= (z + w)(z + w) = (z + w)(z̄ + w̄)
= zz̄ + zw̄ + wz̄ + ww̄
= |z|2
+ |w|2
+ (zw̄ + wz̄)
= |z|2
+ |w|2
+ 2 Re(zw̄)
Now 2 Re(zw̄) ≤ 2|zw̄|. This means the real part of a complex number can
never exceed its modulus. This means |z|2
+ |w|2
+ 2 Re(zw̄) is less than |z|2
+
|w|2
+ 2|zw̄|. Hence
|z + w|2
≤ |z|2
+ |w|2
+ 2|zw̄|
≤ |z|2
+ |w|2
+ 2|z||w̄|
≤ (|z| + |w|)2
Taking square root of the above relation
|z + w| ≤ |z| + |w| (1.15)
Property |z − w| ≥ ||z| − |w||.
Exp. Let two complex number z and w. The subtraction of two complex
number is z + w. Modulus of the difference of complex number is |z − w| and
its square is
|z − w|2
= (z − w)(z̄ − w̄)
= zz̄ − zw̄ − wz̄ + ww̄
= |z|2
+ |w|2
− (zw̄ + wz̄)
= |z|2
+ |w|2
− 2 Re(zw̄)
Now 2 Re(zw̄) ≤ 2|zw̄|. This means the real part of a complex number can
never exceed its modulus. This means |z|2
+ |w|2
− 2 Re(zw̄) is greater than

|z|2

Taking square root of the above relation.
|z − w| ≥ ±(|z| − |w|)
Taking modulus in right hand side to remove ± sign.
|z − w| ≥ ||z| − |w|| (1.16)
1.1.14 Logarithm of Complex Number
Logarithm of complex number is taken after conversion of complex number into
polar form, i.e. z = reiθ
. Here, z is complex number, e is Naperian base or
Euler constant, r is modulus/magnitude and θ is argument/phase. Logarithm
with base 10 of a complex number is
log z = log

reiθ

= log r + log eiθ
Or
log z = log r + iθ log e
On natural base (i.e. base is Euler constant e) then
ln z = ln r + iθ
Logarithm of modulus/magnitude or argument/phase of a complex number is
directly obtained as they are real numbers not complex numbers.

A complex number can be represented in Cartesian plane. A complex number
has two parts, one is real part and other is imaginary part. The real numbers
of real and imaginary parts indicates the magnitudes along positive xy-axes in
Cartesian plane. For example, a complex number z = x+iy has two parts. Real
part x and imaginary part iy. Here x and y are the distances along positive
xy-axes.

z

The coordinate of the point represented by complex number is (x, y). Sim-
ilarly, the same complex number can be represented into polar form taking
distance of point from origin as r and angular displacement θ. It is also called
argument of the given complex number. Using properties of Cartesian and polar
coordinates,
x = r cos θ; y = r sin θ
Squaring both side and adding them, we get
r =
p
x2 + y2
It is magnitude of the complex number z. Dividing both side, we get
θ = tan−1
y
x

It is argument of the complex number. Substituting the components, we will
get the complex number as
z = r cos θ + ir sin θ

52 Complex Analysis
Or
z = r (cos θ + i sin θ) (1.17)
Note that, the complex number is formed by adding two parts, one real and
other imaginary. Therefore, signs prefixed before real and imaginary parts,
are representing the direction of real and imaginary parts rather than sign of
coefficients of the real and imaginary parts. For example, z = x + iy represents
that real and imaginary parts are along the +x-axis and +y-axis respectively.
Similarly, z = x − iy represents that real and imaginary parts are along the
+x-axis and −y-axis respectively. It is not meant that magnitude coefficient y
of imaginary part is negative. Be cautious at time of finding of argument of
the complex number z. Use signs of real and imaginary parts for identification
of quadrant in which complex point falls and use suitable relations to find the
argument of complex number for that quadrant. By this way we can convert a
complex number into its polar or parametric form.

On closely observation to the right hand side, we find that it is equal to eiθ
where e is the natural base of logarithm. Hence

reiθ

It is parametric equations of a circle of radius r in complex plane. Hence reiθ
represents to a circle of radius r. Replacing θ by nθ during the proof, the final
result is

1.2.2 Properties of the Arguments
Property The argument of the product of any number of the complex number
is the sum of all arguments of complex numbers.
Exp. Let z1, z2, . . ., zn are the n complex numbers having modulus r1,
r2, . . ., rn respectively and arguments θ1, θ2, . . ., θn respectively. The complex
numbers are shown in exponential form ie, z1 = r1eiθ1
, z2 = r2eiθ2
, z3 = r3eiθ3
,
. . ., zn = rneiθn
etc. Now the product of the complex numbers is
z1 × z2 × . . . × zn = r1eiθ1
× r2eiθ2
× . . . × rneiθn
Or
z1 × z2 × . . . × zn = [r1 × r2 × . . . × rn] ei(θ1+θ2+...+θn)
z1 × z2 × . . . × zn = [r1 × r2 × . . . × rn] × [cos(θ1 + θ2 + . . . + θn)
+i sin(θ1 + θ2 + . . . + θn)] (1.25)
Now the argument of the above relation is
φ = tan−1

Im(z1 × z2 × . . . × zn)
Re(z1 × z2 × . . . × zn)

Or
φ = tan−1

r1 × r2 × . . . × rn × sin(θ1 + θ2 + . . . + θn)
r1 × r2 × . . . × rn × cos(θ1 + θ2 + . . . + θn)

Here, φ is arg(z1 × z2 × . . . × zn), so
arg(z1 × z2 × . . . × zn) = θ1 + θ2 + . . . + θn
Here θ1, θ2, etc. are the argument of individual complex numbers. So,
arg(z1 × z2 × . . . × zn) = arg(z1) + arg(z2) + . . . + arg(zn) (1.26)

respectively and arguments θ1 and θ2 respectively. The complex numbers are
shown in exponential form i.e.
z1 = r1eiθ1
z2 = r2eiθ2

1.2.3 Roots of a Complex Number
Let cos θ and sin θ are principal real numbers with a period of 2π, and their
general values are cos (2mπ + θ) and sin (2mπ + θ) respectively. Since, sine and
cosine functions are periodic functions of 2π, so there are hundreds of different
values of θ for which sine and cosine values are same. These all values of θ are
called roots of the sine and cosine. Sine and cosine both are represented by De
Moivre relation. Principal form of De Moivre relation is given by
eiθ
= cos θ + i sin θ
As sine and cosine are periodic function of 2π, hence general form of De Moivre
relation is given by
ei(2mπ+θ)
= cos (2mπ + θ) + i sin (2mπ + θ) (1.28)
Rewriting the above equation
cos (2mπ + θ) + i sin (2mπ + θ) = ei(2mπ+θ)
Its nth
root is
[cos (2mπ + θ) + i sin (2mπ + θ)]

Solution The De Moivre form of complex number is

as
z = reiθ
Where each symbol is in its usual form. Now, expanding this relation by using
De Moivre’s relation
z = r [cos θ + i sin θ]
The Real part of the complex number z, i.e. Re(z), is r cos θ. For any value of
θ, cos θ is in [−1, 1]. So, Real part is −r ≤ Re(z) ≤ r. It shows clearly that real
part of a complex number can never exceed its modulus (r).

1.3 Analytical Complex Numbers
Analytics is the systematic computational analysis of function, data, number etc.
It is used for the discovery, interpretation, and communication of meaningful
patterns. A single valued function f(z) is said to be analytic in a region R
(z ∈ R) of the complex plane if f(z) has a derivative at each point of R. In this
section we will study about limits, continuity, poles and zeros, derivative and
integration of complex functions.

1.3. ANALYTICAL COMPLEX NUMBERS 63
1.3.1 Limit Continuity
Let w = f(z) be any function of z, defined in a bounded and closed domain
R. Let z and z0 are two neighbouring points. We say f(z) tends to the limit
f(z0) as z moves to z0 along any path in domain R, if for each positive arbitrary
number ǫ 0, there is a corresponding a positive number δ 0 such that
|f(z) − f(z0)| ǫ
For all points in z of R for which
0 |z − z0| δ
Then
lim
z→z0
f(z) = f(z0)
Similarly for continuity of a function
0 |z − z0| δ
or
lim
z→z0
f(z) = f(z0)
1.3.2 Poles Zeros
A pole-zero plot shows the location in the complex plane of the poles and zeros
of the transfer function of a dynamic system, such as a controller, compensator,
sensor, equalizer, filter, or communications channel. By convention, the poles
of the system are indicated in the plot by ‘×’ while the zeroes are indicated
by ‘ bc
’. A pole of a meromorphic function is a of the function f(z) at a point
‘a’ where the function approaches infinity as z approaches a. For example a
function f(z) = 1/zn
has a pole at z = 0. If there exists a holomorphic function
g(z), such that g(p) is non-zero and n is a positive integer such that for all z
f(z) =
g(z)
(z − p)n
then p is called a pole of f. The smallest value of n is called the order of the
pole. A pole of order ‘1’ is called a simple pole. Assume a fractional complex
number F(z) that can be written as
F(z) =
N(z)
D(z)
(1.30)
Where N(z) and D(z) are numerator and denominator polynomials. These
polynomials has real coefficients. Now the roots of the equation (??) are
N(z) = 0 (1.31)

64 Complex Analysis
and all the roots are defined as the zeros (z = ri) of the system. The poles
(z = pi) of equation are
D(z) = 0 (1.32)
As equation F(z) are written in the form of fraction of N(z) and D(z), hence
the relation will be banished at roots
lim
z→ri
F(z) = 0 (1.33)
and relation will be bounded at poles
lim
z→pi
F(z) = ∞ (1.34)
As all the coefficients of equation are real, therefore the poles or zeros must be
either purely real or in complex conjugate pairs.

(z − 5)(z − 5)(z + 7)(z + 7)(z + 7) = 0
Which gives z = 5, 5, −7, −7, −7. This shows that there are five poles with two

tive of complex function is similar to derivative of other functions. Not that
a complex function is two variable function. For example, Cartesian complex
number is given by
z = x + iy
While complex function in magnitude and argument form (parametric form) is
given by

about θ for circle |r| = 1.
Solution Here derivative is partial derivative about θ as circle radius |r| = 1
(constant). So, taking partial derivative about θ, we have
∂
∂θ
[f(r, θ)] =
∂
∂θ

r eiθ

Or
∂f(r, θ)
∂θ
= ir eiθ

Assume a simple integration of a complex function f(z) = z that is denoted
by Z
f(z) dz =
Z
z dz
The range of limits of integration of this complex function are indefinite. To
limit the integral for a given range, it is rewritten as
Iz =
Z b
a
z dz
As state above, at any point of integration of this complex function, there may
be infinite numbers of curve along which the integration of the complex function
can be obtained. This is why we converts the complex function in its parametric
form and limits the integration of complex function by using a contour that
encloses all the paths of integration. And the integral is again rewritten as
Iz =
Z
c
z dz
Normally contour of integration is a perfect circle of radius a given as |z| = a.
