INTRODUCTION

Critical Book Review carried out with a view to completing the task required of
students. Critical Book Review is expected to benefit us all. Presumably the reader can
understand the content and purpose of Critical Book Review, so we can continue to
develop our capabilities. The book is in accordance with the subject Mathematics Physics.
Researchers want the readers to know more and more about more about Mathematical
Physics in terms of content, the formula and completeness of the materials.

Imaginary numbers on the other hand are not very common except in science
andengineering, and together with real numbers form the basis of complex numbers.
Donot panic. They are called complex numbers Because they are not difficult,
tounderstand or work with - this is Merely conventional. Although as a precaution,
weshould be aware that other numbers are not Referred to as 'simple' numbers. The
coredifference between complex numbers and other numbers are few and it only
takesunderstanding few tips about what constitutes complex numbers in order to spot
thesedissimilarities. Additionally, you will need to apply more principles from other
topicsin mathematics, particularly subject to surds, to solve complex problems than using
newrules number or theorems from this topic.

SUMMARY OF THE BOOK

Complex Number

2.1. Quadratic Equations

In case you have not studied this for a while, let me briefly remind you that a quadratic
equation is a polynomial of degree two with two unknown variables. The solutions to a
quadratic equation can be obtained by using: (i) graphical, (ii) factorisation, (iii) completing
the square, or (iv) quadratic formula method. The solutions to can be derived using the
quadratic formula given by

2.2. The J Operator

is simply an operator that works just like or other mathematical operators.
Letter is used in engineering while is employed in physics and mathematics for vector
analysis, although and denote the same numerical process. As we know symbolises electric
current in engineering and usually complex number is applied in AC circuit analysis where
electric current is also used. Consequently, it will be difficult and confusing to discern when
is used as electric current or complex number operator. For this reason, is adopted in
engineering and this notation will be used throughout this booklet even when solving
questions related to vector analysis.

So what is j? The answer is simply

In other words, j is 90 o counter-clockwise rotation of a vector usually taken from the

positive x-axis. It should be noted that when such a rotation is performed twice, the vector
will be on the same line but pointing towards the opposite direction. It is therefore not
surprising that j 2 =−1 . In addition, when 360o rotation is carried out on a vector, the vector
will return to its original position and again j 4=1 . We use because j 4there are four 90 o in
360o .

A complex number is a number that is made up of two parts, the real and the imaginary,
which is expressed as “ z= z+yj ”

5
In the above equation, x is the real part (or component) of the complex number, abbreviated
as Re (z) and the imaginary part is y , shortened as Im (z). Note that the imaginary does not
include j the operator itself. Sometimes the j operator is written first before the number, or
vice versa i.e. a number before the j operator. Therefore, j2 can be written as 2j . Is there any
number that is both real and imaginary? Yes, the answer is 0. This is simply because +0 = -0
so we can regard √ 0 as real and √-0 as imaginary.

2.3 Polar And Exponential Forms

The format of the complex number used so far is known as the Cartesian (or the rectangular)
form and is written as ; again is the real part and is the imaginary part. There are
other two forms, namely polar and exponential. The polar form is denoted by
where

is called the modulus (or magnitude) of the complex number, which is the length of the line
joining the origin to the point representing the complex number. It is abbreviated as mod z or
|z|. On the other hand, is the angle between the positive realaxis and the line joining the
complex with the origin as shown in the figure below.

It follows that,

}
The angle θis generally called the argument of the complex number and is written as
(z). Note that the angle must be measured from the 1st quadrant i.e. positive x-axis
and it must be in the interval −π <θ ≤θ.

The other form is known as the exponential form represented thus:

6
where r is the modulus of z and θ the argument of z measured in radians unlike degrees in
polar form.

It is important to add that when carrying out addition and subtraction of complex numbers,
Cartesian form is useful. However, multiplication and division of these numbers can be easily
evaluated in polar or exponential form. For example, consider two complex numbers
z 1=x 1+ jy 1=r 1< θ1 and z 2=x 2+ jy 2 =r 2 <θ2 , the four operations are

The following relationship is also valid and can be proven.

Conversion between various forms, particular a polar to rectangular and vice-versa, is

inevitable. A complex number z=r <θ in polar form has its rectangular form as z=x + jysuch
that

The relationship between the different forms of complex numbers is summarised below.

2.4. Logarithm Of A Complex Number

Sometimes we need to find the logarithm of a complex number, particularly the natural
logarithm, which is the logarithm of a complex number to the base of. This is best determined
if the complex number is in exponential form. So let

7
This is usually expressed as

Since |z| and θ=arg z, the natural logarithm of a complex number can be expressed as

2.5 Euler-Trigonometric Relationship

We will end this part of the booklet with a very important relationship. Although this is not
an isolated theorem, it will be useful in solving powers and multiple angles of trigonometric
functions. Using the various forms of a complex number in section 2.4 we can write

And

If we add and subtract equations (vi) and (vii), we can respectively have

And

The above can be used to express multiple and power of sine and cosine of angles using
the relationship below.

EVALUATION OF CRITICAL

3.1 Excess Books

The whole book is almost the same as Text books Mathematical Physics today,
includes materials related to complex numbers, which include the Imaginary Numbers,
Equations complex numbers, functions and formulas exponentially Eulerian and complex
logarithm. In this case the book is appropriate for use in a physics course Pancasila.
The book also meyertakan various formulas, and explanations are interesting and
various types of problems in complex numbers, this is certainly very help students to better
understand and grasp the discussion surrounding the complex numbers. The most impressive
thing about this book is the book explains the matter briefly, and include a variety of
problems with complex numbers along with the settlement of the problem.

3.2 Disadvantages Books

Basically deficiencies in a book, not because the book is not good they are, but we as
readers just feel there is less written in the book.

In the form of points then the lack of books as follows:

1. Lack illustrations in this book will saturate the readers, especially for people who
do not like to read.
2. Some of the material in the textbook we use, are not discussed in the book is one of
them is a complex field, and so on.

To overcome any shortage of books it is necessary to evaluate the future improvements that
could make this better diktat book again.

CLOSING

4.1 Conclusion

Undoubtedly you have heard about numbers, its different classes and categorisations.
Aparticular classification of numbers is their division into real and imaginary numbers, the
which is the focus of this work. Most of the numbers you Might have encountered arereal.
They are real in the technical- conventional sense and have nothing to do with anylinguistic
meaning. Examples include integers, rational and irrational numbers, interalia. Also
Considered surds are real numbers.
The real terms (not containing i) is called the real part of the complex number. The
coefficient of i in the other term is called the imaginary part of the complex number. In 5 +
3i, 5 is the real part and 3 is the imaginary part. Notice carefully that the imaginary part of a
complex number is not imaginary! Either the real part or the imaginary part of a complex
number may be zero. If the real part is zero, the complex number is called imaginary (or, for
emphasis, pure imaginary). The zero real part is usually omitted; Thus Spake 0 + 5i is
written just 5i. If the imaginary part of the complex number is zero, the number is real. We
write 7 + 0I as just 7. Complex numbers are then include both real numbers and pure
imaginary numbers as special cases.

This review is conducted to look at the quality of the book, so the book can be our
reference book to accompany the existing diktat. In accordance with the above explanation
is expected CBR already describe the object, the material existing mathematical physics on
the book being reviewed.

4.2 Recommendation
This book deserves to be a reference and recommendation to the students as a guide to
accompany hand-grip of diktat books that had been prepared by the University. So that we
can add to our knowledge of Science in Mathematical Physics course.
