… complex numbers! I was browsing over (now old) new features, and I came across this beauty: complex numbers!
I must confess, except for some geeky fractal computations ages ago when it was geek to calculate Mandelbrot sets, long before .NET, I’ve never really needed to handle complex numbers… But ok, there you have it. Cool.
Long since I’ve been introduced to numbers with this properties, I had to seek help from Wikipedia in order to get a reason for using them. Here they are:
- Control theory
- Signal analysis
- Improper integrals
- Quantum mechanics
- Relativity
- Applied mathematics
- Fluid dynamics
- Fractals
Ok, it checks: not in my daily work task list :)
