complexity

(noun)

The state of being complex; intricacy; entanglement.

Examples of complexity in the following topics:

  • Roots of Complex Numbers

  • Exponentials With Complex Arguments: Euler's Formula

  • Trigonometry and Complex Numbers: De Moivre's Theorem

  • Complex Logarithms

  • Complex Conjugates and Division

    • The complex conjugate of x + yi is x - yi, and the division of two complex numbers can be defined using the complex conjugate.
    • The complex conjugate of the complex number z = x + yi is defined as x - yi.
    • The reciprocal of a nonzero complex number $z = x + yi$ is given by
    • The division of two complex numbers is defined in terms of complex multiplication (described above) and real division.
    • Practice dividing complex numbers by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator
  • Introduction to Complex Numbers

    • Complex numbers extend the idea of the one-dimensional number line to the two-dimensional complex plane by using the horizontal axis for the real part and the vertical axis for the imaginary part.
    • The complex number $a+bi$ can be identified with the point $(a,b)$.
    • Thus, for example, complex number $-2+3i$ would be associated with the point $(-2,3)$ and would be plotted in the complex plane as shown below.
    • A complex number whose real part is zero is said to be purely imaginary, whereas a complex number whose imaginary part is zero is a real number.
    • The complex number $-2+3i$ is plotted in the complex plane, $2$ to the left on the real axis, and $3$ up on the imaginary axis.
  • Reactions of Coordination Compounds

    • In chemistry, a coordination or metal complex consists of an atom or ion (usually metallic) and a surrounding array of bound molecules or anions known as ligands or complexing agents.
    • Many metal-containing compounds consist of coordination complexes.
    • These complexes are called chelate complexes, the formation of which is called chelation, complexation, and coordination.
    • Such labile complexes can be quite stable thermodynamically.
    • This complex, PtCl2(NH3)2, is an anti-tumor drug and an example of a coordination complex.
  • More complex organic molecules and life

  • Immune Complex Autoimmune Reactions

    • An immune complex is formed from the integral binding of an antibody to a soluble antigen and can function as an epitope.
    • An immune complex is formed from the integral binding of an antibody to a soluble antigen.
    • Immune complexes may cause disease when they are deposited in organs, e.g. in certain forms of vasculitis.
    • Type III hypersensitivity reactions are immune complex-mediated.
    • An immune complex is formed from the integral binding of an antibody to a soluble antigen.
