    Genetic engineering (GE) is a recently developed technology that allows the alteration of the genetic make up of living organisms. This technology allows scientists not only to exchange genes from members of the same species‚ which is what farmers and nature has been doing through out history‚ but also the exchange of genes between completely separate species. For example genetic engendering allows scientists to insert the genes from a fish into a tomato‚ something that can never happen in nature

    Complex Numbers and Applications ME50 ADVANCED ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS 1 Complex Numbers √ A complex number is an ordered pair (x‚ y) of real numbers x and y. For example‚ (−2.1‚ 3.5)‚ (π‚ 2)‚ (0‚ 0) are complex numbers. Let z = (x‚ y) be a complex number. The real part of z‚ denoted by Re z‚ is the real number x. The imaginary part of z‚ denoted by Im z‚ is the real number y. Re z = x Im z = y Two complex numbers z1 = (a1‚ b1) and z2 = (a2‚ b2) are equal‚ written z1 = z2 or (a1‚ b1) = (a2‚ b2)
