Complex or Imaginary plane #121

Open StripedMonkey opened 1 year ago

StripedMonkey commented 1 year ago

being able to display something like $e^{ix}$ is very useful to me, as often working with a lot of physics/EM equations use the complex plane to represent things. Python itself is actually pretty ok about dealing with complex numbers so I hope this isn't too absurd of a request.

Computing with complex numbers is entirely feasible, but usefully visualising complex functions is much harder—you really need 4 dimensions.

What kind of visualisation do you have in mind e.g. for $e^{ix}$?
