Understanding Partial Sums and Summation Formulas

The video tutorial explains how to determine the partial sum of the square of the complex number 2-3i from i=1 to 60. It begins by squaring the complex number, then breaks down the sum into three partial sums. The tutorial applies summation formulas to calculate each part and simplifies the expression to find the final result.
