Complex Number Calculation

CalcES calculator fully supports complex numbers and operations on complex numbers.

Inputting complex numbers

  • To enter imaginary i, press SHIFT ENG
press `SHIFT` `ENG`
  • To enter polar symbol , press SHIFT (-)
press `SHIFT` `ENG`

The complex menu

Press SHIFT 2 to open the complex menu.

There are some builtin functions and operations

  • Arg(z): Argument of the complex number
  • Conjg(z): Conjugate of the complex number
  • Re(z): Real component
  • Im(z): Imaginary component
  • ►r∠φ Displays the result in polar form.
  • ►a+bi: Displays the result in rectangular form.
  • Abs(z): Returns the magnitude (modulus).
press `SHIFT` `2`

Calculation examples

Adding complex numbers

Example

(2+i)4+(2i)2=−4+20i
(1 + i)^4 + (1 - i)^2

Complex number in polar form

Example

4∠45=(2+2i)×2

The angle unit is DEG

Press SHIFT (-) to enter polar operator


4∠45

Argument of the complex number

Example

Arg(1+i)

  1. Press SHIFT 2 to open Complex menu,

    then select the Arg item

    select the `Arg` item
  2. Type the expression 1+i

    4∠45

Conjugate of the complex number

Example

Conjugate(2+5i)=25i

  1. Press SHIFT 2 to open Complex menu,

    then select the Conjg item

    select the `Conjg` item
  2. Type the expression 2+5i

    Conjugate(2+5i) = 2 - 5i

Absolute value of complex number

Example

∣2+5i=29

  1. Press SHIFT 2 to open Complex menu,

    then select the Abs item

    select the `Abs` item
  2. Type the expression 2+5i

    |2+5i| = Sqrt(29)
