Division of Complex Numbers
Dividing two complex numbers results in another complex number when the divisor is not 0, defined thus:
All four quantities are real numbers. r and s may not both be 0.
Division for complex numbers expressed in polar form is simpler than the definition above:
Again all four quantities are real numbers. r may not be 0.

Famous quotes containing the words division of, division, complex and/or numbers:
“Major [William] McKinley visited me. He is on a stumping tour.... I criticized the bloody-shirt course of the canvass. It seems to me to be bad “politics,” and of no use.... It is a stale issue. An increasing number of people are interested in good relations with the South.... Two ways are open to succeed in the South: 1. A division of the white voters. 2. Education of the ignorant. Bloody-shirt utterances prevent division.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Affection, indulgence, and humor alike are powerless against the instinct of children to rebel. It is essential to their minds and their wills as exercise is to their bodies. If they have no reasons, they will invent them, like nations bound on war. It is hard to imagine families limp enough always to be at peace. Wherever there is character there will be conflict. The best that children and parents can hope for is that the wounds of their conflict may not be too deep or too lasting.”
—New York State Division of Youth Newsletter (20th century)
“Specialization is a feature of every complex organization, be it social or natural, a school system, garden, book, or mammalian body.”
—Catharine R. Stimpson (b. 1936)
“I’m not even thinking straight any more. Numbers buzz in my head like wasps.”
—Kurt Neumann (1906–1958)
