Look up complex in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
A complex is a whole that comprehends a number of intricate parts, especially one with interconnected or mutually related parts; for example, a complex of buildings.
Complex may refer to:
Science
- Coordination complex, also called a "coordination compound" or "metal complex", a structure consisting of a central atom or molecule weakly connected to surrounding atoms or molecules (ligands)
- Protein complex
- Complex (psychology), a group of mental factors that are unconsciously associated by the individual with a particular subject and influence the individual's attitude and behavior
- Complex (taxonomy), in biology, a cluster of species so closely related that they intergrade, can interbreed, and are difficult to firmly distinguish except at the extremes of their ranges
- A group of organisms involved in mimicry, being made of one or more mimics, models or dupes
- CoMPLEX is an interdisciplinary centre at UCL into biology and biomedicine.
Mathematics
- Complex number, an extension of real numbers obtained by adjoining imaginary numbers
- Complex system, a system of interconnected simple parts that together exhibit a high degree of computational complexity from which emerges a higher order behavior
- Complex analysis, the study of functions of complex numbers.
- An element of a complex algebra or field of sets.
- Chain complex, a (possibly long) sequence of maps
- Simplicial complex, a kind of topological space that can be divided into fully adjacent triangles, or more generally, into simplices
- CW complex, or closure-finite weak complex, a kind of topological space, a generalization of the simplicial complex
- Line complex, a 3-dimensional family of lines in space.
