  2. cis (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis_(mathematics)

    x is the argument of the complex number (angle between line to point and x-axis in polar form). The notation is less commonly used in mathematics than Euler's formula, e ix, which offers an even shorter notation for cos x + i sin x, but cis(x) is widely used as a name for this function in software libraries.

  3. Polar decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_decomposition

    In this polar decomposition, the unit circle has been replaced by the line x = 1, the polar angle by the slope y/x, and the radius x is negative in the left half-plane. If x 2 ≠ y 2, then the unit hyperbola x 2 − y 2 = 1 and its conjugate x 2 − y 2 = −1 can be used to form a polar decomposition based on the branch of the unit hyperbola ...

  4. Complex conjugate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_conjugate

    In polar form, if and are real numbers then the conjugate of is . This can be shown using Euler's formula . The product of a complex number and its conjugate is a real number: a 2 + b 2 {\displaystyle a^{2}+b^{2}} (or r 2 {\displaystyle r^{2}} in polar coordinates ).

  5. Complex number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_number

    In other words, the absolute values are multiplied and the arguments are added to yield the polar form of the product. The picture at the right illustrates the multiplication of (+) (+) = +. Because the real and imaginary part of 5 + 5i are equal, the argument of that number is 45 degrees, or π/4 (in radian).

  6. Box–Muller transform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box–Muller_transform

    The basic form as given by Box and Muller takes two samples from the uniform distribution on the interval (0,1) and maps them to two standard, normally distributed samples. The polar form takes two samples from a different interval, [−1,+1], and maps them to two normally distributed samples without the use of sine or cosine functions.

  7. Polar sine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_sine

    A non-negative version of the polar sine that works in any m-dimensional space can be defined using the Gram determinant. It is a ratio where the denominator is as described above. It is a ratio where the denominator is as described above.

  8. CORDIC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CORDIC

    CORDIC (coordinate rotation digital computer), Volder's algorithm, Digit-by-digit method, Circular CORDIC (Jack E. Volder), [1] [2] Linear CORDIC, Hyperbolic CORDIC (John Stephen Walther), [3] [4] and Generalized Hyperbolic CORDIC (GH CORDIC) (Yuanyong Luo et al.), [5] [6] is a simple and efficient algorithm to calculate trigonometric functions, hyperbolic functions, square roots ...

  9. Quaternion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternion

    A quaternion of the form a + 0 i + 0 j + 0 k, where a is a real number, is called scalar, and a quaternion of the form 0 + b i + c j + d k, where b, c, and d are real numbers, and at least one of b, c, or d is nonzero, is called a vector quaternion. If a + b i + c j + d k is any quaternion, then a is called its scalar part and b i + c j + d k ...
