Abstract
Such complex analysis is an important tool in engineering, and students need realworld examples that will motivate them to study the topic of complex numbers. We might humor our students by telling them that the real reason they need to know about complex numbers is to pass the next test or class. Instead, we should offer some simple exercises that give insight into the value of complex numbers.
