Complex Numbers and Their Operations

This video tutorial covers operations with complex numbers, starting with a review of the imaginary unit and the standard form of complex numbers. It explains how real numbers are a subset of complex numbers and demonstrates addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of complex numbers. The tutorial also covers rationalizing denominators using complex conjugates.
