Inteiros de Gauss: uma abordagem elementar

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to help High school students to learn complex number sets. Will be shown one of its subsets that has a great importance in Algebra, the Gaussian integers. At first, the study will demonstrate that Gaussian integers are an Algebraic structure, a Euclidean domain to be more specific. The study will compare the addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and exponentiation in algebraic form. Then, we will analyze the prime number in the Gaussian integers sets and compare them to prime numbers in the integer sets to show the differences. At last, some Gaussian integers applications will be presented.
