Course Description

Overview

Explore the concept of i to the power of i in this comprehensive video lecture from the 3Blue1Brown series. Dive deep into the exponential function for i^i, understand its real meaning, and visualize e^it as a position vector. Learn how to plug imaginary numbers into exponential polynomials and grasp the intricacies of exp(rx) and b^x. Engage with interactive questions, audience tweets, and detailed explanations throughout the session. Discover the visualization of f(x) = exp(r*x) where r is a unique complex number, and ponder thought-provoking questions about power towers for i. Benefit from a structured timeline, beautiful notes by Ngân Vũ, and references to related videos for a thorough understanding of this complex mathematical concept.

Syllabus

, when changing r to equal 0.69*i, I said "this is what we might think of as (2i)^x", but that is not correct. It's what we'd think of as [Exp(ln(2)*i)]^x for whatever complex number Exp(ln(2)*i) is..
