Définition

In algebra, the dual numbers are a hypercomplex number system first introduced in the 19th century. They are expressions of the form a + bε, where a and b are real numbers, and ε is a symbol taken to satisfy with .
Dual numbers can be added component-wise, and multiplied by the formula
which follows from the property ε2 = 0 and the fact that multiplication is a bilinear operation.
The dual numbers form a commutative algebra of dimension two over the reals, and also an Artinian local ring. They are one of the simplest examples of a ring that has nonzero nilpotent elements.
