representation <strong>of</strong> the complex number<br />

For example, if then (cf., 222)<br />

that<br />

Thus as a result <strong>of</strong> the multiplication the moduli <strong>of</strong> the complex numbers<br />

are multiplied <strong>and</strong> their arguments are added; as result <strong>of</strong> the division<br />

the moduli are divided <strong>and</strong> the arguments are subtracted.<br />
