Complex vector in the context of Systems of linear equations

In mathematics, the n-dimensional complex coordinate space (or complex n-space) is the set of all ordered n-tuples of complex numbers, also known as complex vectors. The space is denoted ${\displaystyle \mathbb {C} ^{n}}$, and is the n-fold Cartesian product of the complex line ${\displaystyle \mathbb {C} }$ with itself. Symbolically,$${\displaystyle \mathbb {C} ^{n}=\left\{(z_{1},\dots ,z_{n})\mid z_{i}\in \mathbb {C} \right\}}$$or$${\displaystyle \mathbb {C} ^{n}=\underbrace {\mathbb {C} \times \mathbb {C} \times \cdots \times \mathbb {C} } _{n}.}$$The variables ${\displaystyle z_{i}}$ are the (complex) coordinates on the complex n-space. The special case ${\displaystyle \mathbb {C} ^{2}}$, called the complex coordinate plane, is not to be confused with the complex plane, a graphical representation of the complex line.

Complex coordinate space is a vector space over the complex numbers, with componentwise addition and scalar multiplication. The real and imaginary parts of the coordinates set up a bijection of ${\displaystyle \mathbb {C} ^{n}}$ with the 2n-dimensional real coordinate space, ${\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{2n}}$. With the standard Euclidean topology, ${\displaystyle \mathbb {C} ^{n}}$ is a topological vector space over the complex numbers.
