Students can learn the operations and properties of complex numbers and how to use complex numbers on geometry topics taught in secondary school. Also, students can learn how to interpret basic geometric transformations by applying complex calculations. This course aims at broadening and deepening students’ perspectives towards advanced mathematics through understanding the cross-influences of the complex algebra and geometric concepts. This course naturally leads to further geometric concepts, and so is regarded as a pre-requisite of “Understanding Non-Euclidean Geometry”.

同學會學習複數的性質和計算方法。同時連繫中學課程的幾何概念,利用複數的運算來解釋基礎的幾何變換。透過理解複數的代數性質與幾何概念的交互影響,本科能擴闊學生在高等數學的視野,深化知識。本科的內容延伸出進一步的幾何概念,可視之為「非歐幾何賞析」的基礎班。
