+# Complex Numbers
+
+A complex number is a number in the form `a + b * i` where `a` and `b` are real and `i` satisfies `i^2 = -1`.
+
+Assume the programming language you are using does not have an implementation of complex numbers.
+
+### Submitting Exercises
+
+Note that, when trying to submit an exercise, make sure the solution is in the `exercism/python/<exerciseName>` directory.
+
+For example, if you're submitting `bob.py` for the Bob exercise, the submit command would be something like `exercism submit <path_to_exercism_dir>/python/bob/bob.py`.
+
+
+For more detailed information about running tests, code style and linting,
+please see the [help page](http://exercism.io/languages/python).
+
+## Source
+
+Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_number](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_number)
+
+## Submitting Incomplete Solutions
+It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
