The set of complex numbers
\usepackage{amssymb} $\mathbb{C}$
See here for a complete list of set symbols.
Complex number notation
$a+bi$ $i^2=-1$
Nothing unexpected here, the standard i or sometimes j is used.
Real part
\usepackage{amsmath} $\Re(z)$ and $\operatorname{Re}(z)$
Imaginary part
\usepackage{amsmath} $\Im(z)$ and $\operatorname{Im}(z)$
