It is the mathematical language behind the s-plane and z-plane pictures used throughout DSP. ## Signs & universals Instantiates: transformation, frequency. ## Related See Complex frequency, S-plane, [[Laplace_transform]], [[Z-transform]], Fourier transform, and Transform theory.  ## From the Real GENERATIVE library > Complex analysis, traditionally known as the theory of functions of a complex variable, is the branch of mathematical analysis that investigates functions of complex numbers. It is helpful in many branches of mathematics, including algebraic geometry, number theory, analytic combinatorics, and applied mathematics, as well as in physics, including the branche ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_analysis))   *Built to the [[WT!P5_js_Microsim_Master_Class|p5.js Master Class]].*  ## Wikipedia : Wikitube **Strict pair:** [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_analysis) : [Wikitube](https://en.wikitube.io/wiki/Complex_analysis) ## Previous hub tags Tree parents: [[Control_theory]] · [[Game_theory]] · [[Graph_theory]] · [[Information_theory]] · [[Operations_research]].
