Fundamentals of Complex Analysis With Applications to Engineering and Science

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the textbook "Fundamentals of Complex Analysis With Applications to Engineering and Science" by E.B. Saff and A.D. Snider, specifically addressing complex analysis problems. Key problems include demonstrating the vertices of geometric figures such as equilateral and right triangles using complex numbers, and analyzing sets of points in the complex plane defined by various conditions. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding complex numbers and their geometric interpretations in engineering and science applications.

Text: Fundamentals of Complex Analysis With Applications to Engineering and Science by E.B. Saff and A.D. Snider

I only ordered my textbook last week (yeah... I know), so I don't think it will get to me before my homework is due. Would some kind soul with this book please post these questions? I would be very appreciative.

1.2. #5, 6, 7, 13, 16

Please do not help me with these questions; I prefer to work entirely on my own.

I'll find the 3rd edition in my campus library tomorrow.
 
5. Show that the points 1, -\frac{1}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} and -\frac{1}{2} - i \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} are the vertices of an equilateral triangle.

6. Show that the points 3 + i, 6 and 4 + 4i are the vertices of a right triangle.

7. Describe the set of points z in the complex plane that satisfy each of the following:
a) I am z = -2
b) |z - 1 + i| = 3
c) |2z - i| = 4
d) |z - 1| = |z + i|
e) |z| = Re z + 2
f) |z - 1| + |z + 1| = 7
g) |z| = 3|z - 1|
h) Re z \ge 4
i) |z - i| < 2
j) |z| > 6

13) Prove that if (\overline{z})^2 = z^2, then z is either real or purely imaginary.

16) Prove that if |z| = 1 (z \ne 1), then Re[1/(1 - z)] = \frac{1}{2}.

Good luck on your RfA (I won't vote).
