Complex multiplication

Complex multiplication is a concept from complex number theory that involves multiplying complex numbers. A complex number is expressed in the form \( z = a + bi \), where \( a \) and \( b \) are real numbers, \( i \) is the imaginary unit (defined as \( i^2 = -1 \)), \( a \) is the real part, and \( b \) is the imaginary part.
