Basic operations on complex numbers in polar form | Specialist Maths | MaffsGuru.com
**
This video is another in the series looking at Complex Numbers as part of the VCE Year 12 (Units 3 and 4) Specialist Mathematics course. This video looks at how we can take the theory from the last video and apply it to a range of questions. Before doing this I show how we can multiply and divide numbers in Polar Form in an easy way. There are a number of worked examples showing how this can be applied before looking at De Moivre's Theorem. A couple of VCAA questions are used at the end of the video to highlight how the theory can be assessed. All is explained in an easy to understand way.

This maths video has been created for courses which are delivered in Australia but, as Maths is a constant, it is equally helpful for students in the USA, UK and other countries who are looking for good maths videos for both high school and middle school.
