A foreign mix of body odour, rotting wood and mould permeated through the dark room. It was now pitch black outside, and the only light in Dick and Perry's temporary shelter was a dangling yellow light bulb which Dick had already come close to punching several times. However, the weary Salvation Army worker strolling the corridors knew nothing of the arguments the pair frequently had. Nor did they have any idea of the pride they took in their "score" - they looked like nobodies. + +Perry was quite enraged with Dick, but he was adept at keeping his anger hidden from bystanders. "Just think of it, we can't just leave this chance behind! We could be billionaires!" exclaimed Perry. He was excited as usual about his travelling plans, but Dick had had enough. "We'll never find treasure, Perry. Get real. It's not worth it, even if we go back to Mexico," Dick snapped. Perry sighed and picked up his Gibson guitar. Feeling strangely sentimental, he played some of the first songs he learnt to play. He recalled when he was 3, sitting beside his father who played twangy country songs. There was little to thank his father for, Perry reflected, but he would never forget the time he spent alone with his father listening to his calm strumming. + +As Perry quietly played through his hymns, he became aware of the shifting bodies in the bunk beds around him; he was not used to sleeping in a room with so many strangers. He wasn't uncomfortable sleeping near other people - he trusted Dick to fight off any conflicts they might encounter - but he felt vulnerable. Singing and playing was always an authentic output of his soul, and when he was in this kind of mood, he was even slightly uncomfortable sharing his mind with Dick. + +Perry heard a grunt from an upper bunk bed, followed by a rough voice muttering "we're trying to sleep". Perry didn't bother to argue; he wasn't in the mood. He played more quietly and eventually sung a cappella, revealing the scratchiness of his voice previously masked by the smooth guitar. After he had finished playing, a voice from the same bunk bed summoned him. "Hey, I know that song!" whispered the voice. It was hoarse but Perry could still decipher a soft and sensitive element in its tone. Why would they care?, thought Perry. + +--- + +Write a scene detailing the day or night referred to at the bottom of p202 and top of p203.

It was now 7.00 pm - which was when his wife Marie would usually serve dinner for the family - and Alvin was still sitting slumped in an armchair with a battered notepad on his lap and the handset sandwiched between his shoulder and cheek. Marie worked nearby him in the kitchen, listening to his slow mutterings and sighs followed by probing questions. + +Marie had noticed Alvin's health worsening over recent days - he had never been so committed to his work. She was unsure whether he was so dedicated because of his interest in the case, or the reward he may get. But the long nights spent sifting through documents and photographs suggested he simply wanted to get to the bottom of the case. + diff --git a/spec/complex.md b/spec/complex.md index d0b6625..10eba3f 100755 --- a/spec/complex.md +++ b/spec/complex.md @@ -2,42 +2,33 @@ ## Imaginary numbers -$i^2 = -1$ - -$\therefore i = \sqrt {-1}$ +$i^2 = -1 \quad \therefore i = \sqrt {-1}$ ### Simplifying negative surds -$\sqrt{-2} = \sqrt{-1 \times 2}$ - -          $= \sqrt{2}i$ +$\sqrt{-2} = \sqrt{-1 \times 2}$ +$= \sqrt{2}i$ ## Complex numbers $\mathbb{C} = \{a+bi : a, b \in \mathbb{R} \}$ -General form: $z=a+bi$ -- $\operatorname{Re}(z) = a$ -- $\operatorname{Im}(z) = b$ +General form: $z=a+bi$ +$\operatorname{Re}(z) = a, \quad \operatorname{Im}(z) = b$ ### Addition -If $z_1 = a+bi$ and $z_2=c+di$, then - -            $z_1+z_2 = (a+c)+(b+d)i$ +If $z_1 = a+bi$ and $z_2=c+di$, then +$z_1+z_2 = (a+c)+(b+d)i$ ### Subtraction -If $z_1=a+bi$ and $z_2=c+di$, then - -           $z_1−z_2=(a−c)+(b−d)i$ +If $z_1=a+bi$ and $z_2=c+di$, then $z_1−z_2=(a−c)+(b−d)i$ ### Multiplication by a real constant -If $z=a+bi$ and $k \in \mathbb{R}$, then - -           $kz=ka+kbi$ +If $z=a+bi$ and $k \in \mathbb{R}$, then $kz=ka+kbi$ ### Powers of $i$ $i^0=1$ @@ -48,24 +39,36 @@ $i^4=1$ $\dots$ Therefore.. + - $i^{4n} = 1$ - $i^{4n+1} = i$ - $i^{4n+2} = -1$ - $i^{4n+3} = -i$ +Divide by 4 and take remainder. + ### Multiplying complex expressions -If $z_1 = a+bi$ and $z_2=c+di$, then -           $z_1 \times z_2 = (ac-bd)+(ad+bc)i$ +If $z_1 = a+bi$ and $z_2=c+di$, then +$z_1 \times z_2 = (ac-bd)+(ad+bc)i$ ### Conjugates If $z=a+bi$, conjugate of $z$ is $\overline{z} = a-bi$ (flipped operator) -Also, $z \overline{z} = (a+bi)(a-bi) = a^2+b^2$ +Also, $z \overline{z} = (a+bi)(a-bi) = a^2+b^2 = |z|^2$ - Multiplication and addition are associative +#### Properties + +- $\overline{z_1 + z_2} = \overline{z_1} + \overline{z_2}$ +- $\overline{z_1 z_2} = \overline{z_1} \cdot \overline{z_2}$ +- $\overline{kz} = k \overline{z}, \text{ for } k \in \mathbb{R}$ +- $z \overline{z} = |z|^2$ +- $z + \overline{z} = 2 \operatorname{Re}(z)$ + + ### Modulus Distance from origin. @@ -73,6 +76,12 @@ $|{z}|=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$ $\therefore z \overline{z} = |z|^2$ +#### Properties + +- $|z_1 z_2| = |z_1| |z_2|$ +- $|{z_1 \over z_2}| = {|z_1| \over |z_2|}$ +- $|z_1 + z_2| \le |z_1 + |z_2|$ + ### Multiplicative inverse $z^{-1} = {1 \over z} = {{a-bi} \over {a^2+B^2}} = {\overline{z} \over {|z|^2}}$ @@ -96,8 +105,7 @@ ${z_1 \over z_2} = {{(a+bi)(c-di)} \over {c^2+d^2}}$ To solve $z^2+a^2=0$ (sum of two squares): -$z^2+a^2=z^2-(ai)^2$ -              $=(z+ai)(z-ai)$ +$z^2+a^2=z^2-(ai)^2=(z+ai)(z-ai)$ ## Polar form @@ -106,6 +114,7 @@ $z=r \operatorname{cis} \theta$ $= r\operatorname{cos}\theta+r\operatorname{sin}\theta i$ where + - $z=a+bi$ - $r$ is the distance from origin, given by Pythagoras ($r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$) - $\theta$ is the argument of $z$, CCW from origin
