The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra says that there will be n roots. If z is nonreal than its roots will be as well. Charles Greathouse Analyst/Programmer Case Western Reserve University On Thu, May 9, 2013 at 2:25 AM, Kerry Mitchell <lkmitch@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi all,
I am playing with a problem that has boiled down to this: for positive integer n, there are n complex roots of 1 (or any complex number). What happens when n is a Gaussian integer? How many roots are there and what are they like?
I've done some preliminary work on this; can someone point me to a reference so I can see if I'm on the right track?
