Calculating the /7th Roots of a Complex Number
This program calculates the nth roots of a complex number. The
roots are z
k
for k = 0,1, 2,..., n — 1. You can also use the program to
calculate z
l/r
, where r isn't necessarily an integer. The program
operates the same way except that there may be infinitely many
roots z
k
for k = 0, ±1, ±2,....
