This article has such a terrible title.

It's one of the best explanations of what complex numbers are, yet a large number of people will skip it just because of the uninspired title.

Wow it's great seeing this here again.

The first uni assignment I made for CS101 was a Mandelbrot set renderer. I got it to work, but that's all the merit it had. I didn't have a clue about what I was actually doing.

When I read this post a couple of months later it answered questions I didn't even know I had. Ever since, I try to keep digging if I have that feeling of "There must be more to this.."

My suggestion is to try to learn how the Fourier transform really works and why it does.

Great example of a topic explained through clear, concise descriptions that are aided in a very large part by graphics. Kudos to the author.
