Complex Numbers • We will extensively use complex numbers throughout this course. • Their use is NOT mandatory. • But the use gives tremendouse convenience in classical wave physics. 04 December 2020 Introduction 3
Complex Numbers Definition : And also satisfied by -i
Complex Numbers Representation & Notation : x & y : real numbers i : unit imaginary number iy : pure imaginary number Now Every algebraic equation can be solved!!

Taylor series is a series expansion of a function about a point 1 -d Taylor series expansion of a real function about a point is Maclaurin series is a Taylor series expansion of a function about 0 i. e. , if a = 0, the expansion is known Maclaurin series
Consider the following Maclaurin series expansions Expansions are valid for complex arguments x too Function :

Complex Numbers & Simple Harmonic Oscillations
Why Exponential Form? o Both sine & cosine are available in one form, take real or imaginary part o Periodic nature of displacement is reproducible o Leaves the form under differentiation and integration o Algebraic manipulations are quite easy 04 December 2020 Introduction 17
Exponential solution: A=Complex amplitude Real and imaginary parts of z(t) satisfy simple harmonic equation of motion x(t)=Re z(t) 04 December 2020 Introduction 18

An Example The natural frequency of a simple harmonic oscillator is 1/p sec-1. Initially (at t=0), the displacement of the oscillator from its equilibrium position is 0. 3 m and velocity 0. 7 m. sec-1. Use complex notation to determine the amplitude and phase of the motion:
