Cool!

I once wrote a much hackier version of complex arithmetic in JavaScript [0]. It was to support a visualization of the complex derivative [1].

I found it useful to think of a complex number as a point in R^2 that operates under some different rules. I used Mathematica's `ComplexExpand` to translate from traditional notation for complex numbers [2].
