    Roots of Negative Numbers (Complex Analysis)

    Thanks for the warm welcome. I was referring to theta in the context of not simplifying the equation (by plugging in pi for theta), sorry for the ambiguity. Haha that's my engineering background showing through. You are absolutely correct though, precision of language is important, especially...
