Complex Numbers and Functions in Algebra and Geometry

Dedicated to the memory of Ruth Favro [1938-2023] and David Orme Tall (1941-2024)
Though the complex numbers play an important role in analysis, I will present a visualization of complex numbers and functions with mapping diagrams (using GeoGebra) that helps illuminate the study of algebra and geometry.
In particular, in algebra the focus will be on visualizing roots of complex polynomials. In geometry the focus will be on visualization of isometries, dilations, and inversions with complex functions/maps.
