The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra
... If all 11 properties hold true, then we say the set of numbers along with the given operations form a field. From above we can tell that the rational and real numbers form a “field”. In certain instances, like when solving equations, some fields are just not big enough. To solve the equation 3x 4 ...

A Primer on Complex Numbers
... Recall that if −∞ < x < ∞, then arctan(x) is defined to be the angle φ, satisfying − π2 < φ < π2 and tan(φ) = x.‡ Now, as you can see in Figure 3, if φ = arg(a + bi), then tan(φ) = b/a (tangent = opposite/adjacent). This might lead you to the conclusion that arg(a + bi) = arctan(b/a), however this i ...

... A monic polynomial is one where the leading coefficient is 1. Clearly every non-zero polynomial can be made monic by dividing it by its leading coefficient. Example 5: The polynomial 4x3 8x +1 has degree 3. Its leading coefficient is 4 and so it is not monic. However it can be expressed as 4 times ...

Root of unity
In mathematics, a root of unity, occasionally called a de Moivre number, is any complex number that gives 1 when raised to some positive integer power n. Roots of unity are used in many branches of mathematics, and are especially important in number theory, the theory of group characters, and the discrete Fourier transform.In field theory and ring theory the notion of root of unity also applies to any ring with a multiplicative identity element. Any algebraically closed field has exactly n nth roots of unity, if n is not divisible by the characteristic of the field.
