I find the repetition helps instil the information, gives myself time to get his point before he moves on. Thumbs up for every vid man, no one does this as good as you.
That’s how 2pi/3 is expressed in complex numbers. cos(2pi/3) corresponds to the real part of the number because the real axis is horizontal and the cosine of an angle gives you the horizontal component. sin(2pi/3) corresponds to the imaginary part of the number because the imaginary axis is vertical and the sine of an angle gives you the vertical component. cos(2pi/3) (real) is -1/2 and sin(2pi/3) (imaginary) is sqrt(3)/2 (basic trig), so the complex number can be written as -1/2 + i*sqrt(3)/2.
thanks i get it now :) my text book is not very good at passing on its knowledge to me and i "missed "the lecture my professors gave me on the subject..
+Lucas M It comes from Euler's formula, which is e^ix=cos(x)+i*sin(x). You can imagine you can use triangles and trig functions to do this, but it ends up being simpler to let x=the angle in radians and use the e^ix form instead. This also makes it obvious why the e^i*pi=-1, which is the famous Euler's Identity.
+ms2333 Thanks. 4 months ago I didn't know about it. Now I have already learned about Taylor Series, and Euler's formula. Currently working on Fourier Series. I still need help with Fourier. I am also trying to understand the gradient. \/f(x,y)=
I know it is Euler's magic number. However, where is the proof and evident source of it? You could say its lim(1+1/n)^n but please wait...there would be another book for that.
That requires trigonometry... soh cah toa etc. Look at his trigonometry videos for explanation on that. Also, the triangles you get in this case are simple 30-60-90 triangles, so Sal just knew what the sides of that were.
@xScuzzleButtx they are like place holders in an imaginary plane, for example, kinetic energy to potential energy in a spring machine. But it's most common in electrical engineering to show the relationship between potential difference (voltage) and current, in a signal.

I think I know why that happens, it's because the brain has trouble multi-tasking. He is solving the problem AND explaining at the same time, and when he tries to solve the problem in his mind, it's quite hard to talk to your audience whilst thinking!
Euler's formula: I can't prove it for you however whenever you see an exponential of the form e^(ix) it can be written as cos(x) + i (sin x) (There are several websites online that have the rulers formulas proof!) In this context, he's trying to find the roots of a complex number.
Yeah, you should probably apologize for how annoying your voice is in the free math videos you make in your spare time for the benefit of random students you'll never see or hear from
Your videos are pretty helpful, but it's really annoying when you repeat yourself. Seriously, you say a lot of your sentences, or sentence fragments, at least two or three times before you move on.

I was gonna like your comment cause I'm experiencing the same but since u got 69 likes I'm just gonna comment instead ; )
man, i was struggling with this in math all last week, and you made it crystal clear to me in ten minutes....great job
I find the repetition helps instil the information, gives myself time to get his point before he moves on. Thumbs up for every vid man, no one does this as good as you.
this video is golden for EE if you never get taught this until it's too late, thank you so much
So true
I learned in 10 minutes what I had been trying to learn through an entire hour and half lecture. Thanks man!!!
this vid is a complete bless still
Well, I am not in a hurry or before a test, but i find this also nice. The explanations are so organic. Nothing stale...
This is probably the coolest thing I've ever seen.
He makes Maths so cool
Think in Tau, even more easy. 2 pi / 3 becomes tau/3 which is so obviously 1/3 of a full rotation.
That’s how 2pi/3 is expressed in complex numbers. cos(2pi/3) corresponds to the real part of the number because the real axis is horizontal and the cosine of an angle gives you the horizontal component. sin(2pi/3) corresponds to the imaginary part of the number because the imaginary axis is vertical and the sine of an angle gives you the vertical component. cos(2pi/3) (real) is -1/2 and sin(2pi/3) (imaginary) is sqrt(3)/2 (basic trig), so the complex number can be written as -1/2 + i*sqrt(3)/2.
You are GREAT!!! My math teacher is good but I cannot pay attention in class, this is the solution to my problem.
this guy makes me enjoy maths. my teacher can do one.lol
Probably my favorite piece of maths. All maths should be this nice.
To find the roots just use the eqn
Cosx + isinx = e^ix
this was nothing but great Mr Khan ... thank you so much.
thanks i get it now :) my text book is not very good at passing on its knowledge to me and i "missed "the lecture my professors gave me on the subject..
Complex exponentials are truly amazing 👏👏👍👍
man you are miracle worker i was so confused about this before thank you you got it all covered in less than 12 mins lol tnX again
A Level Pure Maths in two days and I'm here seeing this for the first time. Anyone else in the same boat as me?
Not seeing it for the first time, I learned some of this in calc 2, but I must say, I did not learn this as a precalc thing.
He calculates the cosine and sine terms from the line above.
At 2:44 where did he get "e"? Why is it here?

Please can you do that of x^4=1?

it helps get the message through

complex numbers are such cancer i legit wanna smack my head onto the table untill my skull caves in
Complex numbers allow us to do so many things, not only that, they're extremely beutiful and interesting on their own.

Yeah, 2 pi / 3 radians is just 1/3 of the way around the circle, 4 pi / 3 radians is 2/3 around, and so on.
what if it was x^3+1?
Can I somehow use this to factor the equation into a multiplication of smaller polynomials?
what if the exponent isnt a whole real number? how would you come up with i , e, 3/2 solutions if it was x^i=1, x^e=1, x^3/2=1
How 'bout sin(e^i)?
Bless you
hey how did u find the angle, hence the degree from 4pie/3 and from the other 2 hence what happened to the "i"

Why are you telling him to shut up? You're giving him the money so that he can speak! xD
where is the demoivre's theorem video
no replies in 6 years
bless u
Where the hell did the x2=cos(2pi/3)+isin(2pi/3) at 8:51 come from???

does e refer to Euler's number in this case?
Yes.
thanks but i dont see where the -1/2 comes from :S
it's the value of x coordinate in the complex plane
How can Khan say its √3/2 ? Plz HELP ME!
@ 9:35 how does he get -1/2 + sqrt(3)/2 ??
It's the value of cos 120°[90+30] sin120°[90+30]
I suggest u see trigo first if u still find it confusing 💜
so good/bad middle
i such likes fisics
I don't even care
Why are complex roots important?
shoulda used tau
