I'm guessing you didn't go to Central Catholic High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. You never experienced Mr. J.D. Williamson's AP Calculus course. Perfection per problem is mandatory, unless you really want to lose between 1/4 and 1/2 inclusive points on any given question. I've never heard of this re^i(theta) form, but I took another at the article I linked, and I see that it is a Polar form (which I should have guessed). Oops on my part.
But I am by no means a retarded bitch, and the "social failure" issue is one that I'm working on (Don't remind me that I'm on 4chan. I know.). I wasn't exactly a nerd in high school, and most of the people in my class at CMU are way smarter than me. But please, tell me, what is your background in mathematics, as you claim to have more than me?
Also, I'm trained by GameFAQs to not be a troll or a dipshit. No further comment on this point.
You should probably realize that since in a+bi, a and b can be any constants at all (much like the C in indefinite integration), and therefore, if a+bi is a quantity divided by a constant c (as in (a+bi)/c), one could and should just divide the c into a and b and write the complex number as a+bi.
