- I have a set of functions in complex variables that I need to take
- a derivative of, for a fractals project I am going to do. I've looked
- up everything in a book, except one thing. All the other functions
- (comon arithmetic, powers, etc.) are "derived" like real functions,
- but I can't find this one anywhere. Here it is:
- f(c) for a complex c, is equal to c', where the real part of c' is
- equal to the imaginary part of c, and vice versa. In other words, f()
- simply switches the real and imaginary parts of the variable it's
- applied to. so, what would be f'()? If anyone has any clues, please
- send email to mlevin@husc8.harvard.edu. Thanks in advance.
- BTW, I am a biology, not math, major, so take it easy if this involves
- very complex stuff (or if it is a stupid question...).
