Comparison of the processes of mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis produces two diploid (2n) somatic cells that are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell, whereas meiosis produces four haploid (n) gametes that are genetically unique from each other and the original parent (germ) cell. Mitosis involves one cell division, whereas meiosis involves two cell divisions.

A closer look at the complex exponential term in Euler's Formula. We see that it represents a complex number, a distance of 1 from the origin of the complex plane. Created by Willy McAllister.
When we put time in the exponent of a complex exponential, the complex number it represent rotates in a circle on the complex plane. You can think of it as a spinning number! Created by Willy McAllister.
Complex numbers can be represented three ways on the complex plane: cartesian coordinates, radius and angle, and exponential form. Created by Willy McAllister.
Multiplying a real or complex number by the imaginary unit j corresponds to a rotation by +90 degrees. This is the key feature of j that makes it such a useful number. Created by Willy McAllister.
