How did you find PF?
Grok A.I. recommended that I visit when I asked it about online resources for students and teachers of physics.
Physics news on Phys.org
:welcome:

I watched your introduction to complex numbers. I think it moved way too fast. I'm not convinced about starting with the polar representation and looking at applications to SHM.

The geometric representation of complex numbers is powerful, but the algebraic representation seems a more accessible starting point to me. The video looked a bit like pulling a few shiny toys out of a bag of tricks. That was my impression. I'm not sure what I would have made of it if I'd never seen complex numbers before. I'm not sure what the student could do for themselves at the end of that video.

Perhaps I learn differently from others, but this style of video seems like passive learning to me. If I was learning complex numbers from a textbook, I would be trying little exercises myself right from the start. That's how I learn.

They're a bit fast - I think they would serve well as revision material rather than learning :)
