John and Betty's Journey into Complex Numbers: a Children's Book for Senior Mathematics Students Matt Bower

Set in the genre of a children's book, John and Betty trace the evolution of complex numbers and explore their operations. From integers, to fractions, to surds, complex numbers are made to seem like an obvious extension. Incorporating graphing on the complex number plane and culminating in De Moivre's Theorem, the logic of complex numbers is made to seem intuitive and simple. John and Betty delight in their journey, as will senior mathematics students.
