To create the polar representation of any complex number, , first calculate the complex modulus , then calculate the complex argument , then the polar form is:



Note that the exact representation may require you to leave the argument specified as an arctangent.

To multiply two complex numbers, proceed as with any other binomials. However remember that when you multiply the "last" terms, you will be squaring which results in a -1.
