Extract

The approach to plane mechanics by vector methods is often considered to be an unnecessarily sophisticated one and it is true that the preliminary work in vector algebra is lengthy and out of keeping with the elegance achieved. The natural tool, it has been said, is the complex number, and I shall obtain some of the fundamental results by using only complex number theory and vector addition.
