Fundamental theorem of algebra for the perplexes

edit

This seems an obvious consequence of the fact that they split into 2R, and the tessarines into 2C. Double sharp (talk) 11:59, 19 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

The comment refers to the section motor variable#Polynomial factorization where a 2009 journal article is cited that has the same title as this section in Talk. Perhaps the consequence is obvious for some readers, but the authors of the article, their reviewers and editor saw fit to publish the article. Thus it is mentioned here in connection with functions of a split-complex number. — Rgdboer (talk) 20:16, 19 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
OK, but if it is indeed that simple and I'm not overlooking anything (and your comment seems to indicate that it is so), then I think that a brief statement to that effect (summarising the proof the authors give) would be a warranted inclusion. Double sharp (talk) 17:17, 20 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
@Double sharp: by the way it explains why are modern hypercomplex fans unhappy with Corrado Segre’s terms “bireal/bicomplex numbers” ☺ Incnis Mrsi (talk) 20:19, 2 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
Who are these "modern hypercomplex fans" ? Terminology has followed composition algebra where the "bi" prefix indicates that ℂ is the base field for a Cayley-Dickson construction. — Rgdboer (talk) 22:16, 2 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

"Rectangular region" is not rectangular

edit

The region given by T = {z = x + jy : |y| < x < 1 or |y| < x − 1 when 1<x<2} is not rectangular, but is the same as two triangles stuck together. Is this meant instead: T = {z = x + jy : |y| < x < 1 or |y| < 2-x when 1<x<2} ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Svennik (talkcontribs) 20:30, 10 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for noting this error. Has been corrected. — Rgdboer (talk) 05:19, 11 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
