Complex Numbers
A complex number is expressed in the standard form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers and i is defined by i^2 = -1 (that is, i is the square root of -1). For example, 3 + 2i is a complex number.
The bi term is often referred to as an imaginary number (though this may be misleading, as it is no more "imaginary" than the symbolic abstractions we know as the "real" numbers). Thus, every complex number has a real part, a, and an imaginary part, bi.
Complex numbers are often represented on a graph known as the "complex plane," where the horizontal axis represents the infinity of real numbers, and the vertical axis represents the infinity of imaginary numbers. Thus, each complex number has a unique representation on the complex plane: some closer to real; others, more imaginary. If a = b, the number is equal parts real and imaginary.
Very simple transformations applied to numbers in the complex plane can lead to fractal structures of enormous intricacy and astonishing beauty.
After being in Tours for an afternoon/evening and only, my favorite part of my time there was to see you.
Old Tours with its medieval houses is charming to stroll through, but France has many charming old towns.
The most impressive cave system that I went to this vacation is under the Chateau de Brézé. It is where the Troglodytes lived. Their caves didn't only house people, they even had underground horse stables.
Interestingly, Chateau de Brézé is also a wine castle complete with an attached tasting room. Even the gift shop sells mostly wine along some postcards.
