Complex numbers quiz

Complex or imaginary numbers are a very abstract and diverse area of advanced mathematics. They are used by mathematicians, engineers, astrophysicists and cosmologists.

I have composed this quiz to test you on the fundamentals of complex numbers. The basic definitions that you need to know are the formulae in literal forms for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of complex numbers. Also conjugate, modulus and argument.
