Complex Numbers and Their Forms

The video tutorial introduces complex numbers, focusing on different forms such as standard, cartesian, and rectangular. It explains the concepts of modulus and argument, and how to convert between these forms and polar form. An example conversion is provided, demonstrating the calculation of modulus and argument. The tutorial also covers the use of trigonometry to determine angles, emphasizing the importance of understanding radians and quadrants.

What is the most common way to represent complex numbers?
