Complex Numbers Using Excel

The document discusses the 18 complex functions in Excel including COMPLEX, IMABS, IMAGINARY, IMARGUMENT, and IMCONJUGATE. It provides the syntax and examples of using each function to perform operations on and analyze complex numbers in Excel. The functions allow users to transform real and imaginary coefficients into complex numbers, calculate the absolute value, imaginary coefficient, argument, and conjugate of complex numbers, and perform operations like exponentiation, logarithms, trigonometry, products, sums, and differences on complex numbers.

3 Complex functions in EXCEL


Now, lets look at the list in Table 10-1. This shows the 18 complex functions in
EXCEL. Well examine the usage, syntax, and some examples of these functions.

Table 10-1. Complex Functions in EXCEL

COMPLEX IMABS IMAGINARY IMARGUMENT
IMCONJUGATE IMCOS IMDIV IMEXP
IMLN IMLOG10 IMLOG2 IMPOWER
IMPRODUCT IMREAL IMSIN IMSQRT
IMSUB IMSUM


COMPLEX

This transforms real and imaginary coefficients into a complex number of the
form x + yi or x + yj.
Syntax: COMPLEX(real_num,i_num,suffix)
Suffix must be i or j. Dont use upper case!
Examples: COMPLEX(3,4) equals 3 + 4i
COMPLEX(3,4,"j") equals 3 + 4j
COMPLEX(0,1) equals i
COMPLEX(1,0) equals 1

IMABS

Returns the absolute value (modulus) of a complex number in x + yi or x + yj text
format.
Syntax: IMABS(inumber)
inumber is a complex number for which you want the absolute value.
Example: IMABS("3+4i") equals 5. Note that "3+4i" is in text form, not numeric
form. Complex numbers are not numerics in EXCEL.

IMAGINARY

Returns the imaginary coefficient of a complex number in x + yi or x + yj text
format.
Syntax: IMAGINARY(inumber)
inumber is a complex number for which you want the imaginary coefficient.
Examples: IMAGINARY("3+4i") equals 4
IMAGINARY("0-j") equals -1
10.3 Complex functions in Excel 10-7
IMAGINARY(4) equals 0

IMARGUMENT
Returns the argument (), an angle expressed in radians.
Syntax: IMARGUMENT(inumber)
inumber is a complex number for which you want the argument .
Example: IMARGUMENT("3+4i") equals 0.927295


IMCONJUGATE

Returns the complex conjugate of a complex number in x + yi or x + yj text format.
All complex numbers are in text format.
Syntax: IMCONJUGATE(inumber)
inumber is a complex number for which you want the conjugate.
Example: IMCONJUGATE("3+4i") equals 34i

IMCOS

Returns the cosine of a complex number in x + yi or x + yj text format.
Syntax: IMCOS(inumber)
inumber is a complex number for which you want the cosine.
Example: IMCOS("1+i") equals 0.83373 - 0.988898i
(Note that the cosine of a complex number is complex.)

IMDIV

Returns the quotient of two complex numbers in x + yi or x + yj text format.
Syntax: IMDIV(inumber1,inumber2)
inumber1 is the complex numerator or dividend.
inumber2 is the complex denominator or divisor.
Example: IMDIV("-238+240i","10+24i") equals 5 + 12i

IMEXP

Returns the exponential of a complex number in x + yi or x + yj text format.
Syntax: IMEXP(inumber)
inumber is a complex number for which you want the exponential.
Example: IMEXP("1+i") equals 1.468694 + 2.287355i

IMLN

Returns the natural logarithm of a complex number in x + yi or x + yj text format.
Syntax: IMLN(inumber)
inumber is a complex number for which you want the natural logarithm.
Example: IMLN("3+4i") equals 1.609438 + 0.927295I

IMLOG10

Returns the common logarithm (base 10) of a complex number in x + yi or
10-8 Chapter 10: Complex Math
x + yj text format.
Syntax: IMLOG10(inumber)
inumber is a complex number for which you want the common logarithm.
Example: IMLOG10("3+4i") equals 0.69897 + 0.402719i

IMLOG2

Returns the base-2 logarithm of a complex number in x + yi or x + yj text format.
Syntax: IMLOG2(inumber)
inumber is a complex number for which you want the base-2 logarithm.
Example: IMLOG2("3+4i") equals 2.321928 + 1.337804i

IMPOWER

Returns a complex number in x + yi or x + yj text format raised to a power.
Syntax IMPOWER(inumber,number)
inumber is a complex number you want to raise to a power.
number is the power to which you want to raise the complex number.
Example: IMPOWER("2+3i", 3) equals 4 6 + 9i

IMPRODUCT

Returns the product of 2 to 29 complex numbers in x + yi or x + yj text format.
Syntax: IMPRODUCT(inumber1,inumber2,...)
inumber1, inumber2, are 1 to 29 complex numbers to multiply.
Examples: IMPRODUCT("3+4i","5-3i") equals 27 + 11i
IMPRODUCT("1+2i",30) equals 30 + 60i

IMREAL
