Complex conjugate
text:
In mathematics, the complex conjugate of a complex number is the number with an equal real part and an imaginary part equal in magnitude but opposite in sign. That is, if a and b are real numbers then the complex conjugate of a + b i is a − b i . The complex conjugate of z is often denoted as z ¯ or z ∗ . In polar form, if r and φ are real numbers then the conjugate of r e i φ is r e − i φ . This can be shown using Euler's formula. The product of a complex number and its conjugate is a real numb
