I. INTRODUCTION
Complex numbers dates back to the 1st century, when Heron of Alexandria (about
75 AD) attempted to find the volume of a frustum of a pyramid which required
computing the square root of 81-144 (though negative numbers were not conceived in
the Hellenistic World). We also have the following quotation from Bhaskara Acharya
(working in 746 AD), a Hindu mathematician: “The square of a positive number, also
that of a negative number, is positive: and the square root of a positive number is two-
fold, positive and negative; there’s no square root of a negative number, for a negative
number is not square.” Later, around 850 AD, another Hindu mathematician, Mahavira
Acharya, wrote: "As in the nature of things, a negative (quantity) is not a square
(quantity), it has therefore no square root.” In 1545, the Italian mathematician,
physician, gambler, and philosopher Girolamo Cardano (1501-76) published his Ars
Magna (The Great Art), in which he described algebraic methods for solving cubic and
quartic equations. This book was a great event in mathematics. In fact, it was the first
major achievement in algebra in 3000 years, after the Babylonians showed how to solve

Complex Number
By definition, a complex number is any number expressible in the standard for
a+bi or a+jb, the value of “i” or “j” is the imaginary unit number and it is equal to √−1
(Seminiano 2020).

Imaginary numbers were once thought to be impossible, and so they were called
“Imaginary”. But then people researched those more and discovered they were actually
useful and important because they filled a gap in mathematics. Imaginary numbers
become most useful when combined with real numbers to make complex numbers like
3+5i or 6-4i (Pierce, 2020).

INTRODUCTION
Complex numbers are "binomials" of a sort, and are added, subtracted, and multiplied
in a similar way. (Division, which is further down the page, is a bit different.) First, you'll
probably be asked to demonstrate that you understand the definition of complex numbers
(Stapel, 2020).
