Division of Complex Numbers
Dividing two complex numbers results in another complex number when the divisor is not 0, defined thus:
All four quantities are real numbers. r and s may not both be 0.
Division for complex numbers expressed in polar form is simpler than the definition above:
Again all four quantities are real numbers. r may not be 0.

Famous quotes containing the words division of, division, complex and/or numbers:
“God and the Devil are an effort after specialization and the division of labor.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“Between married persons, the cement of friendship is by the laws supposed so strong as to abolish all division of possessions: and has often, in reality, the force ascribed to it.
”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“All propaganda or popularization involves a putting of the complex into the simple, but such a move is instantly deconstructive. For if the complex can be put into the simple, then it cannot be as complex as it seemed in the first place; and if the simple can be an adequate medium of such complexity, then it cannot after all be as simple as all that.”
—Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)
“All ye poets of the age,
All ye witlings of the stage,
Learn your jingles to reform,
Crop your numbers to conform.
Let your little verses flow
Gently, sweetly, row by row;
Let the verse the subject fit,
Little subject, little wit.
Namby-Pamby is your guide,
Albion’s joy, Hibernia’s pride.”
—Henry Carey (1693?–1743)
