Contents
Available Procedures
The package implements all or most basic operations and elementary functions.
Thearithmeticoperationsare:::math::complexnumbers::+z1z2
Add the two arguments and return the resulting complex number

Description
The mathematical module complexnumbers provides a straightforward implementation of complex numbers in
pure Tcl. The philosophy is that the user knows he or she is dealing with complex numbers in an abstract
way and wants as high a performance as can be had within the limitations of an interpreted language.
Therefore the procedures defined in this package assume that the arguments are valid (representations of)
"complex numbers", that is, lists of two numbers defining the real and imaginary part of a complex number
(though this is a mere detail: rely on the complex command to construct a valid number.)
Most procedures implement the basic arithmetic operations or elementary functions whereas several others
convert to and from different representations:
set z [complex 0 1]
puts "z = [tostring $z]"
puts "z**2 = [* $z $z]
would result in:
z = i
z**2 = -1
