ARHG!!!! Well, shit. Sorry... Hummm... its fun to think about complex as vectors wrt addition, subtraction, but multiplication is different, division, ect... Actually, here is some of my c++ code that might be relevant here wrt precision of complex numbers.... float, double, ect... https://groups.google.com/g/comp.lang.c++/c/05XwgswUnDg/m/Wku2Oym_BQAJ https://groups.google.com/g/comp.lang.c++/c/05XwgswUnDg/m/s_RNcUHCBQAJ More info where complex numbers and their precision is important: https://paulbourke.org/fractals/multijulia/ (read all!) :^)
