The Exponential Function
In this section, you will learn
- the Definition and some Characteristics of the Exponential Function,
- how Growth and Decay can be represented mathematically and
- what the Hyperbolic Functions are.
- In every chapter, you will also see various examples helping you to apply the methods taught in that section.
Videos - To give you the possibility to apply the content learned in the videos, you should try to solve the following series of exercices:
Series 1

Complex Numbers
- In the second chapter, you will learn some Definitions and Rules for Calculation with Complex Numbers,
- to use a Graphic Representation of Complex Numbers and in that context you will learn to know the widely used term Polar Coordinates and see how we can apply this with Complex Numbers and
- you will learn the definitions of Eulers Formula and of de Moivre's Formula
- As in the previous chapter, you will also see various examples helping you to apply the methods taught in that section
