Complex Numbers
... Arithmetic of Complex Numbers As we said already, a complex number is just a number of the form z = x + iy where x, y ∈ R. We call x the real part of z and y the imaginary part of z. To add complex numbers, we just add the real and imaginary parts separately. That is, ( x1 + iy1 ) + ( x2 + iy2 ) = ( ...

Two different signs will be subtraction. Matching Addition: 2 + ( +1) = 2 + 1 2 − ( −1) = 2 + 1 Different Subtraction: 2 − ...

Note on a conjecture of PDTA Elliott
... Finally, we investigate the case ii), i.e. the case when p > 2. From p | 2ab and p \ 2(ar + bs) we conclude that p \ ab and p \ (ar + bs). But p | rs and p \ (ar2 + brs), so we have p \ ar2. Consequently we find that p \ ar. In a similar way we can obtain that p \ bs. From these two results we get p ...
