Plane Transformations in a Complex Setting I: Homotheties-Translations
Dana-Picard, T.
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science & Technology, v37 n6 p726-734 Sep 2006
A previous note described how complex numbers can be used for elementary analytic geometry in the plane, describing lines, circles and their intersections using complex Cartesian equations. In the present note, a description of elementary plane transformations, namely homotheties and translations, their group structure and their operations on lines, circles, is given in this complex setting. (Contains 7 figures.)
