Complex hyperbolic geometry investigates spaces that combine the subtleties of complex structures with non‐Euclidean, negatively curved metrics, offering rich terrain for both theoretical exploration ...

Have you ever sat in a math classroom and wondered, “When will I ever use this?” You might have asked yourself this question when you first encountered “imaginary” numbers, and with good reason: What ...

Complex numbers seem to have an almost mystical aura surrounding them. Perhaps it’s because of the terminology used for them – for example, they have a ‘real part’ and an ‘imaginary part’, and they ...
