Chapter: Algebraic Properties of Complex Numbers

In this chapter, we will show, among others, how the complex numbers together with their addition and multiplication form the algebraic structure of a field. This will re-assure us that we can calculate with complex numbers just how we are used to calculating with real numbers. Moreover, we will show that real numbers can be regarded as a special case of complex numbers, from the algebraic point of view.
