Complex numbers are in the form of a+ib which is also called a general form of complex numbers. In a+ib form a is a real part of a complex number, b is the imaginary part of a complex number and i is defined as √(-1). There are many forms of complex numbers. They are,
General form of a complex number
A complex number has a general form that looks like Z=a+ib where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part and i is called iota which is √(-1).
Complex Plane Representation
The polar form of a complex number
A complex number has a polar form that looks like Z = r(cosθ + isinθ) where rcosθ is the real part and rsinθ is the imaginary part and i is called iota which is √(-1).
The Exponential form of a complex number
A complex number has an exponential form that looks like Z=reiθ where eiθ can also be written as cosθ+isinθ which looks like a polar form at the end.
Note: We can also be able to convert general form to polar form, exponential vice versa, also able to convert polar form to general form, exponential form vice versa, and also able to convert exponential to general, polar form vice versa. Now we have to discuss where these complex numbers are useful in real life.
Complex numbers are used in many varieties of fields in real life. Below given are the most important uses of complex numbers, and their proper explanation is also explained.
In electronics, we are used to representing the general form of a complex number in the circuit having voltage and current. In Electronics circuit is mainly based on current and voltage. Those two elements are put together as single complex numbers. Z = V+ iI is the complex representation of a circuit having both current and voltage where V is the real axis part and I is the imaginary axis part so that we can able to see the comparison of both V and I by representing as a complex number in electronics. Sometimes in RC circuits or RLC circuits, if we want to combine two elements, say for example resistor and inductor we can write it as R + jXL as well as if in case resistor and capacitor complex number representation would be R + j Xc where XL = jwL and Xc = 1/jwc.
In electromagnetism, the main elements are the electric field and the magnetic field. Those elements are represented in the form of complex numbers where the real number or real axis is represented by an electric field, the magnetic field is represented as an imaginary part of an imaginary axis.
A quadratic equation is used to find the roots of the equation. If the quadratic equation has real roots it is fine. If the quadratic equation cannot able find the real roots then roots are said to be not real roots named as imaginary roots. Imaginary roots can be find by the formula (-b + √(b2 – 4ac))/2a, (-b – √(b2 – 4ac))/2a are two complex imaginary roots if quadratic equation cannot able to find real roots. In this application, we can use complex numbers.
In Computer science, data place a major role. The data cannot be seen visually because it is in the form of CSV files. Those CSV file data can be seen by using visual representation methods in computer science. That Visual representation is in the real axis and imaginary axis only so complex numbers are used to represent the data in a visual format for computer science technology. In 2D images also we can use complex numbers. Rotation of a point having real part and imaginary part and translation of a point in a 2D image represents the complex number.
In mechanical and civil engineering designing is the main for cars and buildings. To do such a thing we have to use 2D designing concepts that mainly depend on complex numbers only. Rotations are also used in drawing for a point is represented by a complex number only.
Control systems conversion of the time-domain system to frequency domain is required that is to be done using Laplace transform. In that poles and zeros of the system are addressed using a complex plane having a real and imaginary axis. This is the reason and uses for the complex number used in the control system.
Trigonometry is used to set directions such as the north-south or east-west. It tells you what direction to take with the compass to get in a straight direction. It is used in navigation in order to pinpoint a location. It is also used to find the distance of the shore from a point in the sea. It is also used to see the horizon.
Following are the other real-life applications of Trigonometry:
If you know the distance from where you observe the building and the angle of elevation you can easily find the height of the building. Similarly, if you have the value of one side and the angle of depression from the top of the building you can find and another side in the triangle, all you need to know is one side and angle of the triangle.
Have you ever played the game, Mario? When you see him so smoothly glide over the roadblocks. He does not really jump straight along the Y-axis, it is a slightly curved path or a parabolic path that he takes to tackle the obstacles on his way. Trigonometry helps Mario jump over these obstacles. As you know Gaming industry is all about IT and computers and hence Trigonometry is of equal importance for these engineers.
The concepts of trigonometry are applied in various fields to estimate distances. Let us look at some examples
For example: A pilot signals to an air traffic controller that she wants to land. She wants to know what angle of fall to take when she is currently at 40,000 feet. Her plane is 100,000 feet from the runway, as the air traffic controller can see on the radar.
We can determine the lengths of the hypotenuse and the opposite by looking at the diagram and knowing that we require
The pilot must descend with a 23-degree angle.

A boy is positioned next to a tree. He asks himself, “How tall is that tree?” as he looks up at it.
Using the tangent function, it can be calculated as follows: tan of angle = ratio of distance to tree height. Suppose the angle is
Suppose the distance is 30 meters and the angle is 45 degrees.
Height =
Therefore, Height is 30 m
