Complex numbers were introduced to solve cubic and quartic equations, allowing solutions that are not real numbers. They extend the real number system by including an imaginary unit i, where i^2 = -1. Complex numbers allow the representation of rotations and oscillations in a single number and are used extensively in physics and engineering applications such as electrical circuits.
