+# Usage
+
+To create a new complex object, you can provide either the real, imaginary and suffix parts as individual values, or as an array of values passed passed to the constructor; or a string representing the value. e.g
+
+```
+$real = 1.23;
+$imaginary = -4.56;
+$suffix = 'i';
+
+$complexObject = new Complex\Complex($real, $imaginary, $suffix);
+```
+or
+```
+$real = 1.23;
+$imaginary = -4.56;
+$suffix = 'i';
+
+$arguments = [$real, $imaginary, $suffix];
+
+$complexObject = new Complex\Complex($arguments);
+```
+or
+```
+$complexString = '1.23-4.56i';
+
+$complexObject = new Complex\Complex($complexString);
+```
+
+Complex objects are immutable: whenever you call a method or pass a complex value to a function that returns a complex value, a new Complex object will be returned, and the original will remain unchanged.
+This also allows you to chain multiple methods as you would for a fluent interface (as long as they are methods that will return a Complex result).
+
+## Performing Mathematical Operations
+
+To perform mathematical operations with Complex values, you can call the appropriate method against a complex value, passing other values as arguments
+
+```
+$complexString1 = '1.23-4.56i';
+$complexString2 = '2.34+5.67i';
+
+$complexObject = new Complex\Complex($complexString1);
+echo $complexObject->add($complexString2);
+```
+or pass all values to the appropriate function
+```
+$complexString1 = '1.23-4.56i';
+$complexString2 = '2.34+5.67i';
+
+echo Complex\add($complexString1, $complexString2);
+```
+If you want to perform the same operation against multiple values (e.g. to add three or more complex numbers), then you can pass multiple arguments to any of the operations.
+
+You can pass these arguments as Complex objects, or as an array or string that will parse to a complex object.
+
+## Using functions
+
+When calling any of the available functions for a complex value, you can either call the relevant method for the Complex object
+```
+$complexString = '1.23-4.56i';
+
+$complexObject = new Complex\Complex($complexString);
+echo $complexObject->sinh();
+```
+or you can call the function as you would in procedural code, passing the Complex object as an argument
+```
+$complexString = '1.23-4.56i';
+
+$complexObject = new Complex\Complex($complexString);
+echo Complex\sinh($complexObject);
+```
+When called procedurally using the function, you can pass in the argument as a Complex object, or as an array or string that will parse to a complex object.
+```
+$complexString = '1.23-4.56i';
+
+echo Complex\sinh($complexString);
+```
+
+In the case of the `pow()` function (the only implemented function that requires an additional argument) you need to pass both arguments when calling the function procedurally
+
+```
+$complexString = '1.23-4.56i';
+
+$complexObject = new Complex\Complex($complexString);
+echo Complex\pow($complexObject, 2);
+```
+or pass the additional argument when calling the method
+```
+$complexString = '1.23-4.56i';
+
+$complexObject = new Complex\Complex($complexString);
+echo $complexObject->pow(2);
+```
