Let $z \in \C$ be a complex number expressed in polar form as $\polar {r, \theta} = r \paren {\cos \theta + i \sin \theta}$.
The square root of $z$ is the $2$-valued multifunction:
\(\ds z^{1/2}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \set {\sqrt r \paren {\map \cos {\frac {\theta + 2 k \pi} 2} + i \map \sin {\frac {\theta + 2 k \pi} 2} }: k \in \set {0, 1} }\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \set {\sqrt r \paren {\map \cos {\frac \theta 2 + k \pi} + i \map \sin {\frac \theta 2 + k \pi} }: k \in \set {0, 1} }\) |
where $\sqrt r$ denotes the positive square root of $r$.
