As pointed out in Issue lukew3#423, the `complex_to_polar` function did not make sense. Now it gives a complex number in component form, for a student to convert into polar form. This is not a perfect function, but at least it is usable now. In future, we may want to have the theta be chosen from amongst a set of multiples/fractions of pi, that tend to make for nicer questions and answers.

For most of the outputs, how to answer the problem is clear from the way the problem is written. With the complex to polar form generator, however, that is not the case. From the name of the generator, it seems that the goal is for the problem to be a complex number of the form
a+bi, for which the solution would be the equivalent complex number in polar form:r(cos(theta)+i*sin(theta)).The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
