    This lesson picks up from the previous 2 videos. You will now use the skills of simplifying and multiplying square roots of negative numbers, and now complex numbers are added and subtracted as well as distributed. The i is treated just like an x in an algebraic expression, but i^2 just equals -1. This is a great video tutorial for learning computational skills with complex numbers.
