POLARFORM

The document explains how to write complex numbers in polar form. It defines polar coordinates (r, θ) where r represents the magnitude and θ represents the angle in radians. It provides the formulas to convert between rectangular (a + bi) and polar (r(cosθ + i sinθ)) forms. The document also introduces Euler's formula which relates the polar and exponential forms as z = reiθ. It includes an example problem that demonstrates how to write two complex numbers in both polar and exponential forms.
