Transformations in the Complex Plane

The video tutorial covers transformations of the complex plane, focusing on Mobius transformations. It explains how these transformations map straight lines to circles and vice versa. The tutorial demonstrates the process of mapping the real line in the Z plane to a circle in the W plane, deriving the equation of the circle, and using complex conjugates and modulus. The video concludes with completing the square to find the circle's center and radius.
