Complex
numbers
Although complex numbers may seem
to have few direct links with real-world
quantities, there are areas of application
in which the idea of a complex number
is extremely useful. For example, the
strength of an electromagnetic field,
which has both an electric and a
magnetic component, can be described
by using a complex number. Other areas
in which the mathematics of complex
numbers is a valuable tool include signal
processing, fluid dynamics and quantum The Alora Boreaks (Northern Lights) are
mechanics. part of the Earth’ electromagnetic fieldCHAPTER 1
When solving a quadratic equation in Unit C1, you saw how the discriminant of the equation
could be used to find out about the type of roots.
For the equation ax® + ba + ¢ = 0, the discriminant is b® ~ 4ac.
If b® ~ 4ac > 0, there are two different real roots.
If b? ~ 4ac = 0, there are two equal real roots.
If? ~ dac < 0, there are no real roots.
In the case b? ~ 4ac < 0, the problem is that you reach a situation where you need to find the
square root of a negative number, which is not ‘teal’,
To solve this problem, another type of number called an ‘imaginary number’ is used.
The ‘imaginary number’ ,(=1) is called i (or sometimes j in electrical engineering), and sums
of real and imaginary numbers, such as 3 + 2i, are known as complex numbers.
A complex number is written in the form a + bi.
You can add and subtract complex numbers.

You can represent complex numbers on a diagram, called an Argand diagram,
Areal number can be represented as a point on a straight line (a number line, which
has one dimension).
HA complex number, having two components (real and imaginary), can be represented as a
point in a plane (two dimensions).
The complex number z = x + iy is represented by the point (x, y), where a and y are
Cartesian coordinates.
The Cartesian coordinate diagram used to represent complex numbers is called an Argand
diagram.
@ The x-axis in the Argand Diagram is called the real axis and the y-axi:
imaginary axis.

Consider the complex number 3 + 4i, represented

vector OA.
The length OA or |OAl, the magnitude of vector |OA,
is found by Pythagoras’ theorem:

This number is called the modulus of the
complex number 3 + 4i.‘Complex numbers

By convention, angles are measured from the

rctan 4 ~ 0.927 radians
This angle is called the argument of the complex
number 3 + 4i.
The argument of the complex number z = x + iy’is the angle @ between the positive real
axis and the vector representing z on the Argand diagram.
For the argument 0 of the complex number z= x + iy, tan 0= >.
The argument 0 of any complex number is such that — < 0< =
(or -180° < @< 180°). (This is sometimes referred to as the principal argument).
The argument of a complex number zis written as arg z.
The argument 0 of a complex number is usually given in radians.
It is important to remember that the position of the complex number on the
Argand diagram (the quadrant in which it appears) will determine whether
its argument is positive or negative and whether its argument fs acute or
obtuse.
The following examples illustrate this.CHAPTER 1

If you find an interval in which f(z) changes sign, then the interval must contain a root of
the equation fe) = 0. You then take the mid-point as the first approximation and repeat
this process until you get your required accuracy

In this chapter you will be introduced to

also work with another curve called a
rectangular hyperbola.
This chapter builds upon the coordinate
geometry work that you have learnt in
units Core 1 and Core 2. For example,
you will revise material on the distance,

of the ways in which parabolas
are used in the real world.3,1 You know what parametric equations are.
Parametric equations are where the x and y coordinates of each point on a curve are
expressed in the form of an independent variable, say t, which is called a parameter. The
parametric equation of a curve is written in the form:
x= fi, = 80.
You can define the coordinates of any point on a curve by using parametric equations.
Sketch the curve given by the parametric equations x = al2, y = 2at, CER where a is a positive
constant.
‘To give an idea of the shape of the curve we choose some values for t.

Matrix algebra
This chapter will give a brief introduction to matrices
and some of their applications. Matrix algebra is used
in many branches of mathematics, especially those
areas where large volumes of data are handled as the
rules for combining matrices are easily implemented
‘on computers. Transformation, mattices are often used
to create 3-D computer graphics: You will meet some
further properties and applications if you study FP3.Matrix algebra
You can find 1 limension of a matrix.
‘A matrix can be thought of as an array of numbers (a collection of numbers set out in a
table) and they come in different shapes and sizes.
You can describe these different shapes and sizes in terms of the dimension of the matrix.
This is given by two numbers n and min the form n x m (read as n by m), where nis the
number of rows (horizontal or across the page) and m is the number of columns (vertical or
down the page) in the matrix.
‘An n x mmatrix has n rows and m columns.
Matrices are usually denoted in bold print with a capital letter e.g. A, M etc.

Whilst the rule for adding and subtracting matrices appears to be quite natural,
for multiplying matrices that gives them their useful properties.
the rule
The basic operati
consists of multiplying each element in the row of the left hand matrix
by each corresponding element in the column of the right hand matrix and adding the
results together.
The number of columns in the left hand matrix must equal the number of rows in the right
hand matrix.
The product will then have the same number of rows as the left hand matrix and the same
number of columns as the right hand matrix.
So if

Notice that in Example 6 you could not find BA because the dimensions do not
allow you to use the rule. In the case of square matrices though, like Example 7,
you will always be able to find both AB and BA, and usually these answers will
be different. (The technical term for this is to say that matrix multiplication is
not commutative.) This means that, when you are finding the product of two
‘matrices, itis very important that you place them in the correct order.

A translation is not a linear transformation (since the origin moves) but all the others are
and in this section we shall see how to represent them using matrices.
representing a particular transformation you should consider the
effect of the matrix or the transformation on two simple vectors (3) (sometimes denoted
asi) and (°) (sometimes denoted by j).

Given any matrix M = ( t) you can see that

In FP1 you should be able to identify matrices representing the following linear transformations.
Rotation about (0,0) of angles that are multiples of 45°
Enlargement centre (0,0) of scale factor Kk # 0, KE ).
Reflection in coordinate axes or the lines y = =x.

The structure of a proof by induction
can be compared with a line of falling
dominoes. If the first domino falls,
then so will its neighbour, until all the
dominoes fall.
The first example of rigour in proof by
\ induction was a proof that the sum of the
w first n odd numbers is n?. This was given
\ by Francesco Maurolico (1494-1575)Proof by mathematical induction
6,1 You can obtain a proof for the summation of a series, using induction.

Looking at the summations above we can easily spot a general result which is true,
General Statement: If you add up the first positive odd numbers you obtain the squared
number 1?
‘This general statement can be written as:
1+34547+9+..+Qn-1)=
Using the series notation learned in Chapter 5 the general statement can be also rewritten as:

This may give more insight about why the general statement is true.
In this chapter, however, you will learn a more formal method of proof, known as proof by
induction, to prove general statements, such as the one above, which apply to positive integer
values, n, where n> 1
Proof by mathematical induction usually consists of the following four steps:
Step 1: Basis: Prove the general statement is true for n = 1.
Step 2: Assumption: Assume the general statement is true for n= k.
Step 3: Inductive: Show that the general statement is then true for = k + 1.
Step 4: Conclusion: The general statement is then true for all positive integers, n.=
