Polar Form of Complex Numbers
Magnitude of a complex number z is a generalization of the absolute value function/operator for real numbers. It is buy definition always non-negative.

Polar Form of Complex Numbers
Conversion between polar and rectangular (Cartesian) forms.
For z=0+j0; called “complex zero” one can not define arg(0+j0). Why?

Conjugation of Complex Numbers
Definition: If z = x+jy ∈ C then z* = x-jy is called the “Complex Conjugate” number of z.
Example: If z=rej (polar form) then what is z* also in polar form?

Complex Number Operations
Extension of Operations for Real Numbers
When adding/subtracting complex numbers it is most convenient to use Cartesian form.
When multiplying/dividing complex numbers it is most convenient to use Polar form.

Roots of Unity
Regard the equation:zN-1=0, where z ∈ C & N ∈ Z+ (i.e. N>0)
The fundamental theorem of algebra (Gauss) states that an Nth degree algebraic equation has N roots (not necessarily distinct).

Important Observations1. Magnitude of each root are equal to 1. Thus, the Nth roots of unity are
located on the unit circle. (Unit circle is a circle on the complex plane with radius of 1).
2. The difference in angle between two consecutive roots is 2/N.
3. The roots, if complex, appear in complex-conjugate pairs. For example for N=3, (J1)*=J2. In general the following property holds: JN-k=(Jk)*
