1 History
• Gerolamo Cardano (1501-1576), who introduced complex numbers to solve cubic equations.

• René Descartes (1596-1650) used the term“imaginary” for complex numbers.

• Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) made significant contributions, introducing the famous Euler’s for-
mula
eix = cos x + i sin x,
linking complex exponentials and trigonometric functions.

• Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855) provided the first rigorous treatment of complex numbers,
introducing the complex plane (also known as the Argand plane) and proving the fundamental
theorem of algebra.

• Augustin-Louis Cauchy (1789-1857) is often considered the father of complex analysis. He


developed many fundamental theorems, including Cauchy’s integral theorem and Cauchy’s in-
tegral formula.

• Bernhard Riemann (1826-1866) formulated the Riemann mapping theorem, which provides
conditions for conformal mappings between domains, introduced Riemann surfaces, which ex-
tended the study of complex functions to multi-valued functions.

• Karl Weierstrass (1815- 1897) made significant contributions to complex analysis by rigorously
defining the concept of an analytic function and proving the Weierstrass factorization theorem

3 Linear Algebra
C is a vector space over R as well as C. A mapping T : C → C is C(or R) linear if

T (z + ω) = T (z) + T (ω) and T (αz) = αz ∀α ∈ C(or R) and ∀z, ω ∈ C.

1. Show that every C-linear T is of the form T (z) = αz for some α ∈ C.

2. The map z 7→ z̄ is not C linear but R linear.

3. Show that T : C → C is R-linear if and only if
