Complex numbers in Electrical Enginnering
(OP)
Why use complex numbers to represent amplitude and phase of AC.
How does appears in mathematical equations?
I know about Euler Formula.
Why do not we use matrixs?

Can't find a link to the video right now.Look for 'Essense of Linear Algebra' (a series) on the 3Blue1Brown channel on YouTube.

For example, take a three phase system, where each of three wires measures 120 Volts RMS to neutral/ground.
But the voltage measured between them is 208 Volts RMS.
The math only works out if you take into account the phase angles involved.

Usually in a Cartesian plane the abscissa is what is called "real" like resistance and active power and on ordinate the reactance or reactive power. You may expand the area and use other way.
For instance if you have 3 balanced voltages[R,Y,B] you may take R as basis and consider VR=V+j0 then VY=V.cos(-120o)+jV.sin(-120o)=VY=-0.5.V-j0.866.V and VB=-0.5.V+j0.866.V.
By using complex number all the electrical calculations are simplified [ like load, short-circuit or voltage drop calculation].
They are more sophisticated complex number functions as Hankel function for instance, but they are not usually in the electrical engineering calculations.
A Microsoft Excel spreadsheet presents built-in complex functions as IMSUM,IMSUB,IMPRODUCT IMDIV and other in order to facilitate the complex number mathematics.
