Complex conjugate - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Complex_conjugateIn mathematics, the complex conjugate of a complex number is the number with an equal real part and an imaginary part equal in magnitude but opposite in sign. That is, (if. a {\displaystyle a} and. b {\displaystyle b} are real, then) the complex conjugate of. a + b i {\displaystyle a+bi} is equal to.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_conjugateThe complex conjugate of a complex number is written as or The first notation, a vinculum, avoids confusion with the notation for the conjugate transpose of a matrix, which can be thought of as a generalization of the complex conjugate. The second is preferred in physics, where dagger (†) is used for the conjugate transpose, as well as electrical engineering and computer engineering, where bar notation can be confused for the logical negation ("NOT") Boolean algebrasymbol, whil…
