Argument (complex Analysis)

Argument (complex Analysis)

In mathematics, arg is a function operating on complex numbers (visualized in a complex plane). It gives the angle between the line joining the point to the origin and the positive real axis, shown as φ in figure 1 opposite, known as an argument of the point (that is, the angle between the half-lines of the position vector representing the number and the positive real axis).

Famous quotes containing the word argument:

    The wonder of light is your familiar tale,
    Pert wench, down to the nineteenth century:
    Mr. Rimbaud the Frenchman’s apostasy
    Asserts the argument that you are stale,
    Flat and unprofitable, importunate but pale,
    Lithe Corpse!
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
