Complex Numbers in 2D Space

The video tutorial introduces complex numbers as points in a 2D space, emphasizing their representation through modulus and argument. It explains how multiplication of complex numbers can be understood as rotation, and explores the concept of principal argument and moduli. The tutorial also discusses how angles add up during rotation, providing a comprehensive understanding of complex numbers in modulus-argument form.
