  1. $\rhd$ Plotting numbers on the complex plane (1:13) Plotting the numbers: $-2+2i$, $5+2i$, $1+5i$ and $4-4i$.
  2. $\rhd$ Absolute value of a complex numbers  (3:32) Finding the absolute value of $z=3-4i$
  3. $\rhd$ Absolute value & angle of complex numbers (13:03)  Finding the absolute value and the argument of $\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}i$.
  4. $\rhd$ Polar & rectangular forms of complex numbers (12:15) Finding the polar form of $z=-3+2i$.
  5. * Practice: Polar & rectangular forms of complex numbers. (4 problems)
  6. $\rhd$ Multiply complex numbers in polar form (4:43) Multiply: $2(\cos 120^\circ+i\sin 120^\circ)\cdot 4(\cos 90^\circ+i\sin 90^\circ)$
  7. $\rhd$ Multiplying and dividing complex numbers in polar form (3:26) Divide: $\dfrac{6(\cos(60^{\circ})+i \sin(60^{\circ}))}{3(\cos(90^{\circ})+i \sin(90^{\circ}))}$.  Multiply: $[2(\cos(45^{\circ})+i \sin(45^{\circ}))]\cdot [5(\cos(30^{\circ})+i \sin(30^{\circ}))]$.
