Help the class visualize operations with complex numbers with a lesson that formally introduces complex numbers and reviews the visualization of complex numbers on the complex plane. The fifth installment of a 32-part series reviews the procedures of adding, subtracting, multiplying complex numbers by a scalar, and multiplying two complex numbers. Pupils practice those operations and graph their results on the same complex plane.
