Abstract: Abstract In the eighteenth century and earlier, complex numbers were called imaginary numbers and were manipulated algebraically without giving them any geometric meaning. In the early nineteenth century the concept of the complex plane was formulated with the real and imaginary parts of complex numbers corresponding to points in the Euclidean plane. The complex plane and its generalizations became fundamental objects of mathematical study.
