  • A complex number is expressed in the form 2+2i. The i after the second number marks the complex number imaginary part.

  • The usual rules for real numbers can be applied to complex numbers.

  • All trigonometric and logarithmic functions and the functions Abs, Power, Sqrt and Sqr work with complex numbers
  • Complex numbers in lists or tables must be written in brackets.

The following example shows the definition of a 2x2 matrix and its use as an argument in different functions.
