Blest, David C.; Jamil, Tariq – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2003
Computer operations involving complex numbers, essential in such applications as Fourier transforms or image processing, are normally performed in a "divide-and-conquer" approach dealing separately with real and imaginary parts. A number of proposals have treated complex numbers as a single unit but all have foundered on the problem of the…
