> So what exactly is a complex number? It is a math construct, and has almost nothing to do with Python, other than the fact that Python has a data type for them.
So, here is a list of better ways to get information about complex numbers than asking python-list: 1. Google it: http://www.google.com/search?q=Complex+Numbers 2. Wikipedia: See the first result of the above 3. Ask a math teacher 4. Just stay in school and do your math homework. You will learn about it eventually. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
