This math tutorial provides a clear, step-by-step guide to adding and subtracting complex numbers, relating the process to operations with polynomials. The instructor, Randy, explains that while the process is similar to combining like terms with variables like x or y, complex numbers involve the specific imaginary unit *i*. The video walks through three distinct examples: a basic addition problem, a subtraction problem requiring distribution of a negative sign, and a mixed example involving a real number and a complex number.
