A.2 Logarithms, Complex Numbers, and MatricesHL

HL extensions of Number & Algebra. Laws of logarithms, simplification with rational exponents, the convergent infinite geometric series. Complex numbers in Cartesian, polar, and exponential forms with geometric meaning. Matrix operations, determinants, inverses for solving linear systems; eigenvalues and eigenvectors for diagonalization and Markov-chain analysis.
