All Implemented Interfaces:

    public class Complex

extends java.lang.Object
implements FieldElement<Complex>, java.io.Serializable

Representation of a Complex number - a number which has both a real and imaginary part.

Implementations of arithmetic operations handle `NaN` and infinite values according to the rules for `Double` arithmetic, applying definitional formulas and returning `NaN` or infinite values in real or imaginary parts as these arise in computation. See individual method javadocs for details.

`equals(java.lang.Object)` identifies all values with `NaN` in either real or imaginary part - e.g.,

     1 + NaNi  == NaN + i == NaN + NaNi.

implements Serializable since 2.0
