Four Dimensional Graphing

Exponential Graphing in Four Dimensions



The standard exponential function given by looks like this:




However, if we allow all complex numbers (for both x and y) instead of only real numbers, we get a four dimensional graph: real x, imaginary x, real y, and imaginary y.
