> behaves identically to the complex numbers Are you sure? For example, is the name "parabola" just a relabeling for ax^2 + bx + c, or does 'parabola' point to deeper unity among conic sections starting in 3D? Based upon a matrix formulation in place of complex analysis, would anyone have come up with insights and use around all of residuals, cuts, poles, zeros, and so forth? How many entries in books of integrals had solutions found using complex integrals?
