The four complex number arithmetic models in this item show the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of a complex number z2 to all numbers z1 of a point grid. The z1 and z2 are changed and the grid is moved by dragging the tip of the z1 and z2 arrows in the z-plane. The parallelogram for the vector construction representing the arithmetic operation is drawn on the simulation's right-hand side. The default model shows that complex multiplication rotates the grid in the complex plane. Addition, subtraction, and division models are cataloged as supplemental documents.
