Complex numbers and their matrix form.

$begingroup$


I have a line starting at the origin, and i extend it to a point $(a,b)$ in the plane. This thing can be called a vector and be represented as $(a,b), [atext{ }b]^T$ (column vector) or by $amathbf{i}+bmathbf{j}$, where $(mathbf{i},mathbf{j})$ is the stardard basis in $mathbb{R}^2$ Or it could be seen as a visual representation of a complex number where $(a,b)=a+bi,$ where $i=sqrt{-1}$.



So I want to rotate this vector $(a,b)$ $90$ degrees counter clockwise, so i know I can use my trusty matrix for rotations
$begin{bmatrix} cos(90) & -sin(90) \ sin(90) & cos(90)\ end{bmatrix}$=$begin{bmatrix} 0 & -1 \ 1 & 0\ end{bmatrix}$ and we find that
$$begin{bmatrix} 0 & -1 \ 1 & 0\ end{bmatrix}begin{bmatrix} a \ b\ end{bmatrix}=begin{bmatrix} -b \ a\ end{bmatrix}$$
Or, I could choose the complex multiplication way and say,
$i(a+bi)=ai+bi^2=ai-b=-b+ai$



So we all know that, but what are some of the advantages and disadvantages to having two things that are completely identical operation in different systems?

    For this particular example, one obvious difference is computation. To use the rotation matrix, you needed 4 trigonometric computations, 4 scalar multiplications and 2 additions. But in the other method, you swapped the entries and changed the sign of one. In general, for any degree of rotation, both will have same amount of computation.

    Not clear what does the author mean. Multiplication of complex numbers gets two numbers (elements of the field ℂ) and yields a product from the same set. Euclidean 2-vectors are another thing. Although you can “multiply” two rotations and obtain another rotation, there is no multiplication on 2-vectors that gives 2-vectors.

    This is correct in the sense that these two topological spaces are homeomorphic, but what you (partially) justify in your answer is that these are isomorphic as rings. There is nothing in your answer which says anything about topology.

    This is correct in the sense that these two topological spaces are homeomorphic, but what you (partially) justify in your answer is that these are isomorphic as rings. There is nothing in your answer which says anything about topology.
