Unit 5 Complex Numbers
Unit Objective Work with and sketch imaginary and complex numbers; know the basic definitions of imaginary numbers, complex numbers and complex conjugates; find powers of j, and add, subtract, multiply, or divide complex numbers; know exponential, polar and rectangular forms of a complex number. This unit should take no more than 2 weeks to complete. *All assignments are in Basic Technical Mathematics With Calculus 7th edition by Allyn J. Washington, 2000.
Method of Evaluation The unit test will be a pencil and paper exam given at your class site. The test will be administered by the instructor or by a proctor. Please see the course schedule for the exact time and date of the unit test.
