Solving systems of equations with complex numbers

AI Thread Summary
To solve systems of linear equations involving complex numbers, one can treat the equations similarly to those with real coefficients. The process involves using standard methods such as substitution or elimination without needing to separate real and imaginary parts. Some participants noted that the approach remains consistent regardless of whether the coefficients are complex or real. There was a request for more detailed guidance, but it was emphasized that the methods do not change significantly. Understanding that complex coefficients can be handled like real ones simplifies the solving process.

I can easily solve systems of equations with no complex numbers, could somebody give a short overview of the easiest way to do this by hand.

thanks

I'm guessing from your statement about easily solving that you mean linear systems. In that case, you can split the real and imaginary parts apart and get two separate sets of equations each of which can be solved (as real systems).
 
yes, i need to be able to solve a system of linear equations which include complex numbers. The method you described sounds perfect, is there any way I could get a little more detail?

Not to my knowledge. I can't figure out what more you might want.
 
Linear equations with complex coefficients can be solved in precisely the same manner as linear equations with real coefficients.
There is no need to split up in real&complex parts.
 

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'A fully new path to prove Riemann Hypothesis'

For original Zeta function, ζ(s)=1+1/2^s+1/3^s+1/4^s+... =1+e^(-sln2)+e^(-sln3)+e^(-sln4)+... , Re(s)>1 If we regards it as some function got from Laplace transformation, and let this real function be ζ(x), that means L[ζ(x)]=ζ(s), then: ζ(x)=L^-1[ζ(s)]=δ(x)+δ(x-ln2)+δ(x-ln3)+δ(x-ln4)+... , this represents a series of Dirac delta functions at the points of x=0, ln2, ln3, ln4, ... , It may be still difficult to understand what ζ(x) means, but once it is integrated, the truth is clear...
