① This interactive GeoGebra example visually demonstrates the geometric effect of multiplying two complex numbers: their moduli multiply and their arguments add, shown dynamically on the complex plane. ② Core mathematical concepts include complex number multiplication, modulus, argument, rotation, and scaling, along with vector and angle representations. ③ Construction highlights: using GeoGebra commands such as Angle, Segment, and Polygon to build vectors and polygons, sliders and a button (button1) to adjust complex parameters, and text objects (text1) to display numerical values, providing real-time visual feedback. ④ Suitable for high school and undergraduate students learning complex numbers, serving as an intuitive tool for understanding the geometric interpretation of multiplication and as a foundation for complex analysis.
