Abstract

In the present manuscript a first approach to the study of logarithm of complex numbers is discussed. In order to do so, we start with the fact that the logarithm function is the inverse of ez, in complex numbers. It is noted that this last function is not “one to one” and therefore a specific branch is required to have a function that has an inverse. The function Arg is defined in the complex numbers known as the function that relates a complex number with a number in [0,2?) that corresponds to the angle that forms the segment that goes from the origin to the complex number with the positive axis x, in the positive sense, counter-clockwise
