SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on plotting complex equations on the Argand plane using Wolfram Alpha. Users have found that directly inputting complex equations, such as $|z-1|+|z+1|=5$, does not yield the desired graphical output. Instead, converting the complex modulus into a real plot format, such as $\sqrt{(x-1)^2 + y^2} + \sqrt{(x+1)^2 +y^2} = 5$, is recommended for effective visualization. Additionally, the challenge of plotting higher-order complex equations like $$(z-1)^{25}=2\omega^2(z+1)^{25}$$ is raised, indicating a need for further exploration of input methods.
