Turn your virtual number notes into flashcards you can review
Upload a PDF, slide deck, set of notes or a photo of a page. DeckOwl builds flashcards on imaginary and complex numbers, and spaced repetition brings each card back right before you would forget it.
How to study virtual numbers with flashcards
Some textbooks and translated course notes call imaginary numbers virtual numbers, so a stack of virtual number flashcards is a quick way to drill definitions, notation and common operations before an exam.
- Start with the definition of i as the square root of -1 and the rule i² = −1.
- Make separate cards for powers of i, conjugates, modulus and division of complex numbers.
- Keep one deck per chapter so older material keeps coming back while you learn new topics.
- Turn a card into a short answer question once you can recall the answer from memory.
Built from your material
Flashcards come from the PDFs, slides, notes or images you upload, so they match your course's terms and notation.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss return sooner and cards you know come back less often, so review time goes to what you are about to forget.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Turn the same notes into multiple choice, true/false or short answer quizzes with explanations, or into a mind map of the topic.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page from your virtual number or complex numbers unit.
Generate flashcards
DeckOwl reads the material and drafts flashcards with a question or term on the front and the answer on the back.
Review on a schedule
Study in your browser. Spaced repetition sets when each card appears again based on how well you recalled it.
Good cards ask one thing at a time. Put the term or question on the front, such as what i squared equals, and the short answer on the back, so you can check yourself in a few seconds.
Spaced repetition does the scheduling. Cards you struggle with come back sooner, and the ones you already know spread out over days and weeks.

Frequently asked questions
What is an imaginary number?
An imaginary number is a real multiple of i, the unit defined so that i² = −1. Numbers like 3i or −2.5i are imaginary, and a real number plus an imaginary number is called a complex number.
How should I split my notes into flashcards for a complex numbers unit?
Make one card per definition, rule or operation instead of cramming a whole worked example onto one card. Build a separate deck for each chapter so each set stays focused.
