| | We continue our exploration of what numbers are, and where mathematicians keep finding weird ones. In the first three parts we extended the natural numbers in two ways: algebraically and analytically. Those approaches gave overlapping but distinct sets of numbers. This week we combine them to get the complex numbers, and see some hints of why the complex numbers are so useful-and so frustrating.

| A norm on $latex \mathbb{C}^{m \times n}$ is unitarily invariant if $LATEX \|UAV\| = \|A\|$ for all unitary $latex U\in\mathbb{C}^{m \times m}$ and $latex V\in\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$ and for all $latex A\in\mathbb{C}^{m \times n}$. One can restrict the definition to real matrices, though the term unitarily invariant is still typically used. Two widely used matrix norms...
