Complex numbers are often used for audio analysis and quantum physics, because they’re good at describing circular movements and waves.

Also they’re used to calculate rotations in video games and computer graphics. (in this case an even more advanced version called *quaternions* are used, with four total “dimensions” of *real, i, j, k*)
