This app is intended to help students better understand addition and subtraction using complex numbers. The app is particularly useful for students taking a Linear Algebra course who are struggling with complex number operations.

The notation to describe a complex number is described in the form{{ "a+ib" | katex }}where {{ "a" | katex }} is the magnitude of the real component and {{ "b" | katex }} is the magnitude of the complex component. Recall that {{ "i=\\sqrt{-1}" | katex }}

Define the complex component {{ "b" | katex }} here.

Please describe your first complex number below.

Define the real component {{ "a" | katex }} here.

Now define the operation to perform.

operation

Please describe your second complex number below.
