    I found a formula which is more compact than this, and which also accounts for the non-principal values of (a + bi)^(c + di), and I found it without using polar coordinates. I simply wrote (a + bi)^c*(a + bi)^di, and when I simplified (a + bi)^di, my final result was (a + bi)^(c + di) = (a + bi)^c*e^(- d atan2(b, a))*(cos(d Ln((a^2 + b^2)^(1/2))) + i sin(d Ln((a^2 + b^2)^(1/2))))*e^(- 2πn), where n is an integer. The benefit of this compact expression is that it involves no addition inside the trigonometric functions whatsoever, and it reduces the exponentiation of 2 complex numbers to multiplication of 2 complex numbers, which is a nice property to have.
    As for dealing with the (a + bi)^c factor, I found a general formula which is valid for all natural numbers, and which can easily be extended to integers. It is not as trivial to extend it to rational numbers. The ultimate goal is to extend the formula such that c can be any real number. The only problem is that c would need to become the upper boundary of the summation, and this requires defining summation such that its boundaries of summation can be real numbers as opposed to only integers. Alternatively, one can simply use the polar form of the numbers to then create an identity such that the summation can be extended to complex numbers such that it satisfies the equality, which is the reverse direction of the development I suggested. If you want to see the formula I derived, then I can post it in the comments.
    Another nice development is that in order to get other values from the principal value of the exponentiation, all one has to do is multiply by e^(-2πn).
    Applying it to (1 + i)^(1 + i), we obtain (1 + i)*e^(-π/4)*(cos(Ln(2)/2) + i sin(Ln(2)/2))*e^(-2πn), which can easily be expanded further by using the half-angle formulas. I assume this is equivalent to the expression shown by Wolfram Alpha by virtue of the angle-sum identities.

    Before I saw this video, or any other video regarding this topic for that matter, I tried to accurately calculate (a+bi)^(c+di) and I managed to get the real component to compute correctly but not the complex component. Keep in mind, I did this without any external help, including without any tutorial on the internet, or from a peer. It turns out, I had tried to distribute the " e^(-dArg(a+bi)) " component into both the complex and real components, but had forgotten to do so to the complex component. Until I watched this video to see if I had gotten anything remotely correct, I had no clue that it wasn't a computational error that I made, but simply forgetting to distribute properly. Because of this, I feel I have now greatly expanded my knowledge on mathematics, and definitely have learned to pay attention to subtle errors like the one I had made so I don' t lose motivation to give up on a personal mathematical endeavor. Thank you for creating this video, because I believe that I have learned not only more in the realm of mathematics, but also about myself personally.

      Another observation. If you zoom out enough, that is, so you are at the level of -10*10^50 to 10*10^50, and even more, then the lines seem to be approaching the number line (line b=0). So what really happens is that those "lines" are not lines but almost linear curves which curve towards the number line extremely extremely slowly

    It is interesting to observe what condition is required for the end result to be real, namely cθ + d.ln(r)= 0, or integer multiples of π. In the special case when c = 0, r = sqrt(a²+ b²) must = 1 (principle value). The expression i^i is one to satisfy this condition.

  • @mikeoxvereyverymassive20

    I tried this in the other form and did (a+bi)^(c+di)=e^((c+di)ln(a+bi))=e^((c+di)(ln((a^2+b^2)^(1/2))+arctan(b/a)i), where arctan(b/a) is subjective to the quadrant. From here it was e^((cln((a^2+b^2)^(1/2))-darctan(a/b))+(carctan(b/a)+dln((a^2+b^2)^(1/2)))i)=e^(z+xi) where z is being used as a variable for the real part and x is being used for the imaginary part. From here I realised that (z+xi) is just ln(the answer)=ln(L+Mi). The working follows e^(2z)=L^2+M^2 and x=arctan(M/L), via substitution (e^(2z)-L^2)/((Ltan(x))^2)=M^2/M^2=1, L=(+-)((1)/((tan(x)^2)+1))e^(z) and mi=Ltan(x)i. My issue is I haven’t been able to figure out the different cases of when the real and imaginary are negative or positive. Do you know how I can see or test which quadrant the answer should be in, or have you already done a video explaining which quadrant the answer should lie in without doing both methods?

      Sure. And in fact one should not be surprised that the complex power will have many values in general. After all, it is the mother of radicals, and each nth root has up to two values in the real numbers, and n values in the complex numbers. Thus the most general definition of exponentiation should contain some suitable "source" of this behavior, and that is precisely it: the ambiguity in the argument of the base.

    Riemann stated the Riemann hypothesis in a paper in 1859. He had to input complex numbers into the Riemann-Zeta function and calculate lots of points such that he could see enough of the Riemann-Zeta landscape to think of his hypothesis. He would have had to do the above calculation over and over. He had no computers. It always boggled my mind as to how he did that. Maybe he had lots of minions doing the calculations for him.

    • @mike4ty4
      @mike4ty4 Před 5 lety

      Impressive - though I have not investigated this enough to know exactly how he arrived at the hypothesis. Did he write it down that he used such a method?
      That said, though, there is a rather more verifiable example in this picture of a 3D graph of the Gamma function for complex argument, made long before computers:
      enacademic.com/pictures/enwiki/74/Jahnke_gamma_function.png
      Compare with a modern computer-generated graph of the same thing:
      upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/80/GammaAbsSmallPlot.svg
      That means that yes, _someone sat down there and calculated, by hand, the values to suitably high precision, at many different points in the plane_ . So such calculations definitely have been done. Another thing I notice is that there are, actually, in many older math texts, topics that are often not covered in today's texts. While I understand that is often because many of them pertain to calculational techniques that have been "obsoleted" through the use of the computer, I tend to think that there is still a bit of a loss here, because while we may be able to use a computer to calculate far more data then we ever could by hand, knowing these techniques gives one access to more ways of _thinking_ , and in my mind you can never have enough of such ways.
      Not to mention, the artistry skills it would take to draw such a thing so nicely. There really has been a lot "drained" from modern schooling, even though I think other advances are welcome.

    it is incorrect to equal argument to inverce tangent, cause inverce tangent is defined as a number from -π/2 to π/2, ang arg is sometimes defined at -π to π or 0 to 2π

      There's a little thing called "preparation" that goes into the making of the videos; as well as into teaching a class.
      A good teacher, like bprp, does that in a way that makes it easier for the viewers/students to grasp the underlying principles.

    I'm fairly sure the answer is going to be "no", but just in case, is there a closed form like this for iterated alternating addition and squaring on complex numbers?
    (((N ^ 2) + M) ^ 2) + M
    etc… repeating not just twice as above but P times.

    • @stevethecatcouch6532
      @stevethecatcouch6532 Před 5 lety +2

      There is, but it's going to be complicated. (I almost described it as ugly, but it's beautiful if you like that kind of thing.) If N = a+bi and M = c+di, the expanded form of the simple formula you have there would be a^4 - 6 a^2 b^2 + 2 a^2 c + i (4 a^3 b + 2 a^2 d - 4 a b^3 + 4 a b c - 2 b^2 d + 2 c d + d) - 4 a b d + b^4 - 2 b^2 c + c^2 + c - d^2. Add P-2 more c+di terms and it will be very complicated.

      For angles, no. at least, not in two dimensions. I'm pretty sure that complex numbered angles would be better at representing a three dimensional angle.

    black-red, that formula is either utterly incomplete or I didn't hear the magic word "principal". Since the complex arguments will (and do) appear in the result as amplitudes, you have to consider { arg(z) } and not the Arg(z)...
