Graphing Complex Numbers and Functions

The video tutorial covers graphing concepts, starting with basic functions and moving into complex numbers. It explains how to interpret graphs on the Cartesian and complex planes, emphasizing the importance of understanding both algebraic and geometric approaches. The modulus of complex numbers is discussed, highlighting its geometric representation as a circle and its algebraic treatment using Pythagorean theorem.
