Basics, conjugate and modulus

  • Form

    z=x+iy,i2=−1,zˉ=x−iy,∣z∣=x2+y2​
  • Conjugate

    zzˉ=∣z∣2,z1​±z2​​=zˉ1​±zˉ2​,z1​z2​​=zˉ1​zˉ2​,Re(z)=2z+zˉ​
  • Modulus

    ∣z1​z2​∣=∣z1​∣∣z2​∣,​z2​z1​​​=∣z2​∣∣z1​∣​,∣z1​+z2​∣2=∣z1​∣2+∣z2​∣2+2Re(z1​zˉ2​)
  • Powers of i

    i4k=1, i4k+1=i, i4k+2=−1, i4k+3=−i

Polar form and argument

  • Polar / Euler form

    z=r(cosθ+isinθ)=reiθ,r=∣z∣, θ=argz∈(−π,π]
  • Argument rules

    arg(z1​z2​)=argz1​+argz2​,argz2​z1​​=argz1​−argz2​(mod2π),argzˉ=−argz

De Moivre's theorem and roots of unity

  • De Moivre

    (cosθ+isinθ)n=cosnθ+isinnθ
  • Cube roots of unity

    1, ω, ω2;ω=2−1+i3​​,1+ω+ω2=0,ω3=1
  • nth roots of unity

    zk​=en2πik​, k=0,1,…,n−1;∑zk​=0,  ∏zk​=(−1)n−1

Geometry and rotation

  • Distance and section

    ∣z1​−z2​∣=distance;z=m+nmz2​+nz1​​
  • Rotation

    z2​−z1​z3​−z1​​=∣z2​−z1​∣∣z3​−z1​∣​eiθ
    θ is the angle from z2​−z1​ to z3​−z1​ (anticlockwise).
  • Circle

    ∣z−z0​∣=r;​z−z2​z−z1​​​=k (k=1) is a circle, k=1 a line
  • Collinear points

    z2​−z1​z3​−z1​​∈R
  • Triangle inequality

    ​∣z1​∣−∣z2​∣​≤∣z1​+z2​∣≤∣z1​∣+∣z2​∣
