This example geometrically demonstrates the properties of the complex logarithm function. It involves core mathematical concepts such as complex numbers, logarithms, rotation, and the unit circle. The construction utilizes GeoGebra commands and objects like Line, Point, Circle, Polygon, Vector, OrthogonalLine, Translate, Intersect, and Locus. It is suitable for high school and above students to understand the geometric meaning and transformation characteristics of the complex logarithm function.
