 ==== Entering complex numbers ====
-A complex number can be represented mathematically in rectangular form as $z = x + iy$ or in polar form as $z = re^{i\theta}$.  A complex number is entered as a pair of numbers comma or space separated and enclosed in parenthesis.  For example, the complex number $5+3i$ would be entered (in rectangular form) as ''(5, 3)'' or ''(5 3)'' or in polar form ($r,\theta$) as ''(5.83, ∡30.96)''((The keyboard shortcut for the angle symbol (∡) is **AL-RS-6**.)).  Alternatively, a complex number can be created from two numbers using the command ''R→C'':
