Exponential form
It's perhaps worth further emphasizing that trig functions of real number values can be expressed as exponential functions of complex numbers. The page currently contains numerous illustrations of this but without expressing trig functions in that fashion.
For example:
j=: %:_1 NB. 0j1
J=: *&j@+ NB. swap real and imaginary components of complex number
mean=: +/%#
re=: mean@(, +) NB. real part of complex number
im=: re@J NB. imaginary part of complex number
cos=: re@^@J NB. 2 o.
sin=: im@^@J NB. 1 o.
atan2=: im@^.@(+ J) NB. arc tangent y%x with correct quadrants
(Atan2 would also be {:@*.@j.
without using exponentials.)
