"Complex numbers, as much as reals, and perhaps even more, find a unity with nature that is truly remarkable. It is as though Nature herself is as impressed by the scope and consistency of the complex-number system as we are ourselves, and has entrusted to these numbers the precise operations of her world at its minutest scales.", Penrose 2005, pp.72–73.

Solomentsev 2001: "The plane $\mathbb {R} ^{2}$ whose points are identified with the elements of $\mathbb {C}$ is called the complex plane ... The complete geometric interpretation of complex numbers and operations on them appeared first in the work of C. Wessel (1799). The geometric representation of complex numbers, sometimes called the 'Argand diagram', came into use after the publication in 1806 and 1814 of papers by J.R. Argand, who rediscovered, largely independently, the findings of Wessel". Solomentsev, E.D. (2001) [1994], "Complex number", Encyclopedia of Mathematics, EMS Press

Argand 1814, p. 204 defines the modulus of a complex number but he doesn't name it:
"Dans ce qui suit, les accens, indifféremment placés, seront employés pour indiquer la grandeur absolue des quantités qu'ils affectent; ainsi, si $a=m+n{\sqrt {-1}}$ , $m$ et $n$ étant réels, on devra entendre que $a_{'}$ ou $a'={\sqrt {m^{2}+n^{2}}}$ ."
[In what follows, accent marks, wherever they're placed, will be used to indicate the absolute size of the quantities to which they're assigned; thus if $a=m+n{\sqrt {-1}}$ , $m$ and $n$ being real, one should understand that $a_{'}$ or $a'={\sqrt {m^{2}+n^{2}}}$ .]
Argand 1814, p. 208 defines and names the module and the direction factor of a complex number: "... $a={\sqrt {m^{2}+n^{2}}}$ pourrait être appelé le module de $a+b{\sqrt {-1}}$ , et représenterait la grandeur absolue de la ligne $a+b{\sqrt {-1}}$ , tandis que l'autre facteur, dont le module est l'unité, en représenterait la direction."
[... $a={\sqrt {m^{2}+n^{2}}}$ could be called the module of $a+b{\sqrt {-1}}$ and would represent the absolute size of the line $a+b{\sqrt {-1}}\,,$ (Argand represented complex numbers as vectors.) whereas the other factor [namely, ${\tfrac {a}{\sqrt {a^{2}+b^{2}}}}+{\tfrac {b}{\sqrt {a^{2}+b^{2}}}}{\sqrt {-1}}$ ], whose module is unity [1], would represent its direction.] Argand (1814).
