In this video I illustrate how complex numbers can be interpreted as vector rotations. This follows from my earlier video on equating the Rotation Matrix as a complex number. Rotating a vector by 0° is equivalent to multiplying the vector by the Identity Matrix [I]. Rotating a vector by 90° is equivalent to multiplying the vector by the Imaginary Matrix [i]. This is quite amazing, both in that complex numbers can be interpreted as vector rotations and also in that the imaginary unit i can be viewed as a 90° rotation!
