in the short novel “Billy Budd”‚ written by Herman Melville. The author of Complexity wrote‚ “the purest spring water is a downright frightening mixture”. In other words‚ sometimes‚ there is no clear distinction on whether something is simple or complex. In some sections‚ the story devolves into the basic human instincts used by our ancestors‚ and is “simple”. However‚ in other sections‚

Fractals Introduction Fractals are geometric patterns that when repeated at increasingly smaller scales they produce irregular shapes and surfaces. All fractals have a feature of ‘self-similarity’. A set is self-similar if it can be broken into arbitrary small pieces‚ each of which is a small copy of the entire set‚ for fractals the pattern reproduced must be detailed (Nuhfer 2006). Self-similarity may be demonstrated as exact self-similarity meaning the fractal is identical at all scales a fractal

ECG tracing consists of five identifiable deflections. Each deflection is noted by one of the letters P‚ Q‚ R‚ S‚ or T. The P wave is the first waveform in a tracing and represents the depolarization of the heart ’s atria. The next waveform is a complex and consists of the Q‚ R‚

The polar/Cartesian (rectangular) form of phasor‚ as complex quantity‚ is described. Lastly‚ the algebra‚ involving the phasors (voltage/current)‚ is presented. Different mathematical operations – addition/subtraction and multiplication/division‚ on two or more phasors‚ are discussed. Keywords: Phasor‚ Sinusoidal

When the complex is charged‚ it is stabilized by neighboring counter-ions. A coordination compound also called metal complex‚ which is a charged species consisting of metal ion bonded to one or more groups of molecules. The bonded molecules are called

We will be begin by describing some fundamental results from complex analysis that will be used in proving our main lemmas and theorems. For a description of the basics of complex analysis‚ we refer the reader to the complex analysis text Complex Variables for Mathematics and Engineering Second Edition by John H. Mathews.
