Mathematical skills - Complex numbers

The material will cover topics and content which could be presented anywhere from GCSE level up to and including mathematics transition into 1st year University engineering. The difference between these resources and other resources available on the internet is the focus on understanding how the mathematics works using simple human intuition; the hope is that this will make it more accessible to students struggling to 'memorise' techniques while not understanding why they work.

The presentation of material is such that many chapters are standalone, so students do need to view all the preceding chapters in order to find them useful. However, within the chapters themselves there are often references back to earlier videos so it is advisable to view the chapter videos in order. These videos give an introduction to complex numbers and key attributes. It is assumed that students have been introduced to the definition of complex numbers before, albeit briefly, and thus the focus is more on identifying and understanding the key properties that will be used in engineering problem solving. The videos do spend a little time demonstrating that some key results are true, but students could skip those parts and concentrate on the key results if they want to.
