Exponential Form
We've seen the Cartesian form a complex number z = x + yi and the modulus-argument
form z = r(cos 6 + isin). But, there’s a third form!
Later in Chapter 3 on Taylor expansions, you'll see that you that you can write functions as
an infinitely long polynomial:
xt
cosx = 1
sinx =
It looks like the cos x and sin x somehow add to give e*. The one problem is that the
signs don’t quite match up. But i changes sign as we raise it to higher powers.

i.e. IF you multiply two complex numbers, you multiply the moduli
and add the arguments, and if you divide them, you divide the
moduli and subtract the arguments.
