A complex is a whole that comprehends a number of parts, especially one with interconnected or mutually related parts.

Complex may refer to:

Science

  • Complex (chemistry), also called a "coordination compound" or "metal complex", a structure consisting of a central atom or molecule weakly connected to surrounding atoms or molecules
  • 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

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
