Figure 4.3: The complex number z in the complex plane This form of representation for complex numbers is called the rectangular or cartesian form since z can be represented in rectangular coordinates by the point (x,y) in a plane having a horizontal axis being the “real axis” and the vertical axis being the “imaginary axis,” as shown in Figure 4.3. This plane is called the “complex plane.” In MATLAB, i and j are variable names that default to the imaginary number. You have to be careful with their use, however, as they can be overridden and used as general variables. You can insure that j is the imaginary number by explicitly computing it as the square root of —1:

Figure 6.7: Adding phasors Beating Between Tones If you have heard two slightly mistuned musical instruments playing pure tones whose frequencies were close but not equal, you have sensed a beating phenomenon in which you perceive a single pure tone whose amplitude slowly varies periodically.

The rand function in MATLAB generates uniform random numbers distributed over the interval [0,1]. A state vector is used to generate a random sequence of values. A given state vector always generates the same random sequence. Thus, the sequences are known more formally as pseudorandom sequences. This generator can generate all the floating point numbers in the closed interval [2~—°%, 1 — 2-53]. Theoretically, it can generate over 2!49? values before repeating itself. The following commands generate and display two sets of ten random numbers uniformly distributed between 0 and 1; the difference between the two sets is caused by the different states.

Figure 9.5: Parallel graphs indicate that no solution exists Note that slopes of the two lines are both equal to 3/4, so the lines are parallel, as shown in Figure 9.5. Since they do not intersect, no solution exists. The matrix A is the same as that in the one-line singular case above, where this matrix was found to be singular. An ill-conditioned set of equations is a set that is close to being singular (for example, two equa- tions whose graphs are close to being parallel). The solution to an ill-conditioned set of equations depends on the accuracy with which the calculations are made. No computer can represent a number with infinitely many significant figures, and so a given set of equations can appear to be singular if the accuracy required to solve them is greater than the number of significant figures used by the software.

A measure of the quality of the fit of the linear estimate to the data is the mean squared error (MSE) or the root mean squared error (RMSE) Observing the plot of these data points shown in Figure 10.1, it can be seen that a good estimate of a line passing through the points is 7 = 20x.

The quality of both of these derivative approximations depends heavily on two factors: the spacing of the samples and the scatter in the data due to measurement error. The greater the spacing, the more difficult it is to estimate the derivative. The approximation improves as the spacing between the two points decreases.
