    This document provides a review of complex numbers and their properties: 1) It defines complex notation as z = x + iy, where x is the real part and y is the imaginary part. 2) It lists properties of the complex exponential function eiz, including relationships between sin, cos, sinh and cosh. 3) It shows that a complex potential wave function can be used to model wave forces on bodies, and that taking the real part of the complex potential satisfies Laplace's equation.

    Review on Complex numbers:

    Complex Notation:

    z = x + iy ; Re{z} = x , Im{z} = y

    Q = f ( x) is equivalent to Q = f (Re{z})

    Properties of eiz :

    eiz e iz eiz + e iz

    sin z = cos z =

    2i 2

    z
    e e
    z
    e + e z
    z

    sinh z = cosh z =
    2 2

    sinh(iz) = i sin( z) sin(iz) = i sinh( z)

    cosh(iz) = cos( z) cos(iz) = cosh( z)

    e = cos z + i sin z
    iz

    z = x + iy = r (cos + i sin ) = rei


    ei = 1; for = Real Constant

    e z = e x+iy = e x eiy =
    e x cos y + ie x sin y

    Complex potential makes wave forces on bodies even easier to solve:

    A kz
    Wave Potential: ( x, z , t) = e cos(kx t)
    k
    A kz i ( kx t )
    Real part of a complex Potential: ( x, z , t ) = Re e e
    k

    OR

    A kz
    Wave Potential: ( x, z, t) = e sin(kx t)
    k
    A kz i ( kx t )
    Real part of a complex Potential: ( x, z, t ) = Re e ie
    k

    A kz i ( kx t ) A kz
    Total Potential: T ( x, z, t ) = e e = e {cos ( kx t ) + i sin ( kx t )}
    k k
    This total potential satisfies Laplaces Equation as well.
