Definition

 A complex number is made up of two parts, a real part and an imaginary part. An example is $ a+bi $, where $ a $ is the real part and $ b $ is the imaginary part.


Applications

 Applications include:
   * Control Theory
   * Fluid Flow
   * Signal Processing
   * Quantum Mechanics
   * Relativity
   * Fractals (my personal favorite)
