I don't know how deep you want to study, but following are some good books\n\nGeometry of Complex Numbers-Hans Schwerdtfeger \n\nA Scrap-book of Elementary Mathematics: Notes, Recreations, Essays -William Frank White

Imaginary numbers are just another word(s) for complex numbers. They are the same thing. Complex-Imaginary numbers are numbers that have a part of them that is multiplied by i (the square root of -1).\nEg 1+1i is a imaginary number\n(1+1i) squared = 0+2i = 2i\nso one of the square roots of 2i is 1+1i (a complex number)\nI use complex numbers to design fractal generation programs.

Ha ha! I used that book myself. Check this website out, it may be what you're looking for.\n\nhttp://math.cramster.com/calculus-5th-solutions-10-202.aspx\n\nSolutions manuals are great if you get stuck and just need a little hint, but don't depend on them. You'd probably be better off just finding someone who knows how to do the problem and can help you with it than looking at the solutions manual all the time.\n\nBut hey you're an adult, I think, and can make your own decisions.

A good book is called the new quantum universe.  You'll need to give yourself a bit of time to absorb all that information.  But it contains all the basic ideas, formulations and explanations to get started

Check out Stewart's Calculus(refer to the first link). If you are looking for something  more rigorous refer to Apostol's Calculus(refer to second link).

I've read the Trigonometry for Dummies and the Calculus for Dummies books, both were quite helpful. There is also an algebra workbook for dummies, but it's probably not worth getting if you're taking an algebra class.

do a search on the site textbook411.com, its where I buy all of my books , I am sure you will find what you are looking for

www.glencoe.com \n\nthe book are really good, they have chapter of Geek civilization

The best ? Go for Richard Courant's "Differential and Integral Calculus". Every structure is motivated and all of the exercises are enlightening instead of busy work.\nIf you have the maturity, Apostol's "Calculus" is another classic introduction and a good companion.

First of all, you (along with some other people here, seem to be confusing imaginary and complex numbers).  Complex numbers make a big set.  Imaginary numbers make a smaller set inside the complex numbers and real numbers make a smaller set inside the complex numbers.  These two sets, however, do not make the entire set of complex numbers.  In other words,\n1.All real numbers are complex numbers.\n2.All imaginary numbers are complex numbers.\n3.There are complex numbers that are not real number and they are not imaginary numbers either.\n\nDraw a big circle and draw two smaller circles inside the big circle.\n\nSo from now on, everybody, be careful when you use the words imaginary and complex.  They are not the same things.\n\nNow for some clarifications:\n1.A complex number can always be written as a+bi where i is the imaginary unit (square root of -1).\n2.In any complex number a+bi, a is called the real part.\n3.And b is called the imaginary part.\n\nSo the number 5 for example, is a real number AND it is also complex because 5 can be written as 5=5+0i.\n\nThe number 2i for example, is an imaginary number AND it is also a complex number because 2i=0+2i.\n\nSo now the light bulb goes off and everyone realizes that a real number is just a complex number with the imaginary part being zero and an imaginary number is a complex number with the real part being zero.\n\nThe number 1+2i is the last example.  It is a number that is not real not imaginary.\n\nHere is an interesting thing.  On the real numbers, we have this notion of ordering, meaning if I give you any two real numbers, you can always put <, >, or = between them, meaning you can always compare them.  The real numbers are ordered, in fact, they are "well-ordered".  What about the complex numbers that?  How in the world do you compare 1+i to 1-i?  Is it bigger than, less than, or even equal that goes between them?  Well, the answer is that they are both equal to each other.  But dig in, and see if you can find out why.\n\n----------------------------------------\nNow for the question you asked,  pretty much all the engineering fields make extensive use of complex numbers but electrical engineers live, eat, drink, and breathe them.\n\nBut no worries, they were not invented only for them.  In math, if you go far enough, it turns out that it actually is a lot easier to work with complex numbers than with real numbers only.\n\nHere is an example you should be familiar with, when we want to find roots of polynomials.\nIf we consider a polynomial, as a polynomial with real numbers, then we know for a fact that you can't always find all of the zeros.  You might not find any roots at all. x^2+1=0 has all real coefficients but no roots which is a problem.\nNow, if we consider the same polynomial as a polynomial with complex numbers, we are ALWAYS guaranteed ALL the roots.  Because remember, all real numbers are complex numbers as well. So x^2+1=0 is a polynomial with complex coefficients.

I'm reading this book right now\n\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&isbn=0452285259&itm=1\n\nI just got it, so I haven't read too far, but so far it's very interesting and easy to understand.  Here's some others on my list\n\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&isbn=0195142373&itm=2\n\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&isbn=019514743X&itm=5\n\nI would look on ebay or half.com, or even your library, first.\n\nI also think game theory and number theory are interesting topics, so if you or anyone else has a recommendation for those, please let me know :)\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\nI forgot this one, it's on my list, too\n\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbninquiry.asp?z=y&pwb=1&ean=9780691058542\n\nAnd I agree, good for you for expanding your horizons.

We've tried several different courses, and we really like Harold R. Jacob's Elementary Algebra. It's very well laid out, it teaches in logical steps so it's easy to follow, and it is very user-friendly. My son actually rather enjoyed it, and did well on his standardized test. We supplemented it with Standard Deviants Algebra DVDs, which reinforce the concepts that Jacobs teaches. \n\nSaxon Algebra is very good, but the material jumps around a bit and can be hard to follow. My daughter complained that the book just looked daunting. All-in-all, though, it's a good course. \n\nFor beginners, a very good choice is the Key to Algebra series of workbooks. It teaches the basic concepts very nicely and is a really friendly intro to the subject.\n\nGood luck!!!
