Parametric equations and polar coordinates
Curves traced by a parameter, and the (r, θ) description of the plane.
A parametric curve gives x and y each as functions of t; polar coordinates locate a point by distance r and angle θ. Picture it: the same point (1, 1) is √2 at 45°; the unit circle is simply r = 1. Think it: complex numbers in exponential form are polar coordinates with multiplication built in.

قدم ب قدم
- z = 1 + i = 1 + (1)i
Read off the real and imaginary parts.
- |z| = \sqrt{1^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{2} \approx 1.4142
The modulus is the distance from the origin (Pythagoras).
- \theta = \arg z = \frac{\pi}{4} \approx 0.78540
The argument is the angle from the positive real axis (watch the quadrant).
- z = \sqrt{2}\left(\cos \frac{\pi}{4} + i\sin \frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \sqrt{2} e^{i \frac{\pi}{4}}
Polar and exponential forms (Euler).

سوالات لوگ پوچھتے ہیں
What is a function, really?
A rule that assigns exactly one output to each input. The vertical-line test on a graph is the same idea: no input may have two outputs.
Why do we need complex numbers?
Because x² + 1 = 0 has no real solution, and allowing one new number i with i² = −1 makes every polynomial equation solvable. They then turn out to describe rotation, waves and alternating current more naturally than real numbers do.
