- a simpel question for those who know the answer...
- given a complex number as z=ix+y, how does one do
- division
- if z>w
-
- and what are other 'standard' operations on complex numbers (besides
- *, /, -, +) one expects in a language that would support complex numbers?
-
- I could look it up, but I remember reading something on the news (on some
- news group) about doing division correctly (related to rieman surfaces)
-
- any help is greatly appreciated.
