When we speak of a certain quantity of money, it may either be a gain or a loss, a receipt or a payment. Gains and loss are so related that if we gain as much as we lose the effect on our stock is nothing. Hence a quantity of money forms a gain is said to be opposite in character to a quantity which forms a loss.

More on Complex Numbers
In this chapter we shall cover advanced topics under complex numbers.
Combination
A combination is a grouping or selection of all or part of a number of things without reference to the arrangement of the things selected.
Permutation
A permutation is an arrangement of all or part of a number of things in a definite order. For example, the permutations of the three letters a, b, c taken all at a time are abc, acb, bac, bca, cba, cab.
Logarithm
a and M be two real numbers such that a>0 and not equal to 1and M > 0. A real number x is called “the logarithm of M to the base a” if a to the power of x is equal to M.
Quadratic Equations
An equation of the form ax^2 + bx +c = 0 (a being nonzero) in which 2 is the highest power of x and a,b,c are any three numbers free from x is called an equation of second degree or a quadratic equation in x.
Complex Numbers
Real numbers are not sufficient for solving all algebraic problems. Hence, a new set of numbers which are different from real numbers were invented and termed as complex numbers or imaginary numbers.
