Homework Statement
I have a complex number
z=1-i
I want to find the argument of this complex number
Homework Equations
The angle it makes with the positive real axis is arctan(1/1)=pi/4
The Attempt at a Solution
This point lies in the fourth quadrant of the argand diagram.
Arg(z)= angle the z makes anticlockwise with the positive real axis = 2*pi - pi/4
is 2*pi-pi/4 the correct answer?
In matlab, the argument of this number is -pi/4 so I don't understand, doesn't the argument have to always be measured anticlockwise from the positive real axis?
Thank you in advance
