I’ve always heard of the idea of analytic continuation in th context of complex analysis, but what is one example that I could understand? If you could, please give an example that a Precalculus student would understand, and one that someone who is taking calculus can understand. For example, is finding the value of a logarithm of complex/negative numbers and example of analytic continuation?
