Proof
(related to Proposition: Multiplication of Complex Numbers Is Commutative)
- x\cdot y:=(a,b) \cdot (c,d) by definition of complex numbers, the complex numbers x,y \in \mathbb C are identified by pairs x:=(a,b), y:=(c,d) of real numbers a,b,c,d\in\mathbb R.
- =(ac - bd,~ ad + bc) by definition of complex multiplication.
- =(ca - db,~ da + cb) because multiplying real numbers is commutative.
- =(ca - db,~ cb +da) because adding real numbers is commutative.
- = (c,d)\cdot (a,b) by definition of complex multiplication.
- = y \cdot x by definition of complex numbers.
- Therefore, the multiplication of complex numbers is commutative.
