  • What is the factorial of i? Yes, the imaginary unit i. Does i factorial actually work? Yes, we will have to use the extension of factorial, namely the Pi function or the Gamma function. And we will also have to know how to deal with (a real number)^(complex exponent).

    sqrt(2) factorial 👉 • factorial of sqrt(2)?

      True. Unfortunately, you run into a lot of those in engineering - sometimes you just have to get "close enough" to build your widget. Numerical methods might give a good enough answer, but they rarely tell you "why" it is so.

    I always find it funny how such things as i! or i^i or the antiderivative of x^i are not particularly special numbers. In fact, they almost seem arbitrary, given how fundamental i is to math. Honestly complex numbers fascinate me and I'm irritated at myself that I didn't truly appreciate their beauty until relatively recently.

      I will work out ln(a+bi) later.

    • @thommunism1656

      Benjamin Brady you just use the fact a+bi can be expressed as re^(theta*i) where r is the distance from 0 to a+bi, so it will be (a^2 + b^2)^1/2,
      and theta is the angle a+bi makes with the positive x-axis, if you draw it out you’ll see that the opposite and adjacent are b and a respectively. now we know tan(theta) is b/a so theta is inverse tan of b/a (i’ll use tan-1 to write it
      plugging these in we get
      a+bi = (a^2 + b^2)^1/2 * e^(tan-1(b/a)*i)
      so ln(a+bi) = ln[(a^2 + b^2)^1/2 * e^(tan-1(b/a)*i)]
      separate it into two logs
      = ln[(a^2 + b^2)^1/2] + ln[e^(tan-1(b/a)*i)]
      the ln and e cancel and the ^1/2 can be brought outside the log
      = 1/2*ln(a^2 + b^2) + tan-1(b/a)*i
      and thats it, hope this isn’t too excruciating to read

    There is another nice way to get i factorial. Watch Dr. Peyam's proof that integral frac(tan(x)) dx from 0 to pi/2 = 1 + i/2*ln(gamma(1-i)/gamma(1+i)). From Euler's reflection formula: gamma(1 - i)/gamma(1+i) = (pi* csch(pi))/((gamma(1+i))^2). Substituting back and expanding the logarithmic term we get 1 + i*ln(sqrt (pi*csch(pi))) - i*ln|i!| + arg(i!). Now from the fact that the integral has to be a real number (the terms with i must be equal), we get that |i!| = sqrt(pi*csch(pi)) and arg(i!) = (the integral) - 1. If this isn't awesome, then I don't know what is!

    There are other hyper-real numbers. Like a+u*b, with u^2==0 and a, b to be reals. I first thought that you meant something like that. BTW, series with these numbers are quite easy to solve. I'm sure u know it. 😉

    • @angelmendez-rivera351
      @angelmendez-rivera351 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      That is not a hyper-real number, that is a dual-complex number, a type of complex number different from the standard-complex numbers. The hyperreal numbers include infinite integers and infinitesimals in halos around real numbers. Very different thing.
