Complex Numbers as Rotation Matrices
In this video I go over a very interesting concept and that is in interpreting complex or imaginary numbers as and equivalent rotational matrix form. This concept was brought to my attention by Lori Gardi from the Fractal Woman YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/FractalWoman/search?query=complex%20numbers
Rewriting complex numbers as rotation matrices allows for looking at complex numbers from a different perspective, and this case that perspective is in simply rotating vectors. The imaginary number "i" is thus viewed as simply a 90 degree rotation when viewed as a rotation matrix. I also rewrite the famous Euler's formula into a rotation matrix form and that turns out to just be a 180 degree rotation. Since complex numbers appear often in mathematics and physics, it may be insightful to reinterpret such complex equations as simply vector rotations!
Note that while I only covered 2D rotation matrices, a similar concept can be applied to 3D rotation matrices, and which I may cover in future videos so stay tuned.
