Complex Addition is Associative

Theorem
$$\forall z_1, z_2, z_3 \in \mathbb{C}: z_1 + \left({z_2 + z_3}\right) = \left({z_1 + z_2}\right) + z_3$$.

Proof
From the definition of complex numbers, we define the following:


 * $$z_1 = x_1 + i y_1$$
 * $$z_2 = x_2 + i y_2$$
 * $$z_3 = x_3 + i y_3$$

where $$i = \sqrt {-1}$$ and $$x_1, x_2, x_3, y_1, y_2, y_3 \in \mathbb{R}$$.

Thus:
