3. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018)
complex number

    A number of the form x+iy where i is the square
   root of -1, and x and y are real numbers, known as the
   "real" and "imaginary" part.  Complex numbers can be plotted
   as points on a two-dimensional plane, known as an Argand
   diagram, where x and y are the Cartesian coordinates.

   An alternative, polar notation, expresses a complex number
   as (r e^it) where e is the base of natural logarithms, and r
   and t are real numbers, known as the magnitude and phase.  The
   two forms are related:

   	r e^it = r cos(t) + i r sin(t)
   	       = x + i y
   where
   	x = r cos(t)
   	y = r sin(t)

   All solutions of any polynomial equation can be expressed as
   complex numbers.  This is the so-called Fundamental Theorem
   of Algebra, first proved by Cauchy.

   Complex numbers are useful in many fields of physics, such as
   electromagnetism because they are a useful way of representing
   a magnitude and phase as a single quantity.
