complex variableIn mathematics, a variable that can take on the value of a complex number. In basic algebra, the variables x and y generally stand for values of real numbers.

A complex variable may be graphed as a vector from the origin to the point (a,b) in a rectangular coordinate system, its modulus corresponding to the vector's length. Called an Argand diagram, this representation establishes a connection between complex analysis and vector analysis.
