Scott Flansburg of San Diego, California is a "human calculator" who can perform complex arithmetic in his head.
It is therefore not surprising that complex interval arithmetic is similar to, but not the same as, ordinary complex arithmetic.
Rafael Bombelli was the first to explicitly address these seemingly paradoxical solutions of cubic equations and developed the rules for complex arithmetic trying to resolve these issues.
Chapter 5 presents an introduction to complex arithmetic and stereographic projection.
Integer math was likeways improved by about the same factor, although "complex" arithmetic like multiplication remained in code as opposed to hardware.
In his book, Bombelli explains complex arithmetic as follows:
But the complex political arithmetic that lay behind Dr. Allawi's challenge appeared likely to work as much against him as for him.
Both real and complex arithmetic are supported, with single and double precision.
