Complex numbers!!!

I didn't see much topics on this subject.

If you know anything interesting about complex or you have a problem with them just post here.

Here are the rules of basic operations with compex numbers:
1)addition:
 


2)subtraction:
 

3)multiplication:
 

4)division:

I read something but not all.
