Complex
Motion

Keep one Argand language while arithmetic becomes motion, equations become regions, and the extended plane closes onto the Riemann sphere.

01

Argand Operations

Separate addition as translation from multiplication as rotation and dilation; use conjugation as reflection.

02

de Moivre Root Wheel

Generate all fifth roots from indexed arguments, close the regular polygon, and raise every root back to the target.

03

Roots Move in Pairs

See why real coefficients force conjugate roots and which real transformations preserve their symmetry.

04

Modulus and Argument Loci

Carry one open region through recentering, rotation, scaling, and reciprocal inversion.

05

Apollonius Loci

Move from the equal-distance bisector to a verified ratio circle and sparse combined conditions.

06

Generalised Circle Mappings

Compare affine, reciprocal and Möbius images while naming the pole explicitly.

07

Möbius Geometry Toolkit

Use exceptional points, conformality and pole geometry to classify line/circle images and construct image centres and diameters.

08

The Riemann Sphere

Match tangent-plane points to the sphere, close infinity at the north pole, and turn the general circle theorem into a rigid-rotation example.
