Primitive Complex Cube Roots of Unity
The primitive complex cube roots of unity are:
\(\ds \omega\) | \(=\) | \(\, \ds e^{2 \pi i / 3} \, \) | \(\, \ds = \, \) | \(\ds -\frac 1 2 + \frac {i \sqrt 3} 2\) | ||||||||||
\(\ds \omega^2\) | \(=\) | \(\, \ds e^{4 \pi i / 3} \, \) | \(\, \ds = \, \) | \(\ds -\frac 1 2 - \frac {i \sqrt 3} 2\) |
