    Professor Lum/AE501,
    I think it would’ve helped me out personally if the video had started out with maybe a quick reason of why I care about Euler’s formula. For example: in the previous ODE video, if I recall correctly you quickly showed what an ODE was and how it might be used. THEN went into more complex topics and derivation. I have spent a good portion of this video so far trying to figure out why I need to care about Euler and am over halfway through. I’m sure you’ll get there eventually... just some feedback for those who think like me.

    • @ChristopherLum
      @ChristopherLum  4 роки тому +1

      Seth, thanks for the feedback, you make a very good point. To answer your question, the reason we need Euler's Formula is that we'll use it down the road when working with underdamped/oscillatory systems which introduce sin/cos terms. Just hang on for 1 or 2 more videos and hopefully it will become clear why we need it.

    AE 501. Hi Chris, at time 51:46 you explain that for a pole the function comes out of the page. Maybe I missed it but I am having trouble understanding what this third dimension is on the real and complex plane. Also, does this mean that for the zeros the function is on the plane? I am sure I am misunderstanding something. By the way, this is Austin, I just realized my account name doesn't match.

    AE 501. Great video on complex numbers but I guess I'm a little confused towards the end about complex functions/poles. It was still a little tricky understanding at poles F(s) is infinity and therefore sticks out of the plane. Its almost like F(s) acts like a z value (on a real plane) and sticks out of the page, but how does that pertain to the complex plane? I really think a 3D plot of a complex function would be helpful to visualize, because for most of the video I was thinking in 2D until you introduced F(s).

    • @ChristopherLum
      @ChristopherLum  3 роки тому

      Zane, sorry, I realized the motion I made seemed to imply that poles stick out of the plane but this isn't really a useful way to think of it. Just think of poles as values of s that lead to the function F(s) going to infinity.

    AE501: Professor Lum, thank you for the helpful video. If complex numbers can be represented on a plane, can the idea of a graphic representation be extended to complex functions? While it's easy to imagine functions like y = x, it's not very easy to imagine y = s where s might be a complex variable. Not sure if this is a legitimate question, but I just had this thought as I watching the last part of your video. Thanks!

    • @ChristopherLum
      @ChristopherLum  3 роки тому

      Karina, that is a good observation. Yes, you can think of complex functions in the same fashion as you think of vector functions. With vector functions, the vector might be changing with some independent parameter and the same is true with complex functions/variables.
