The C99 Rationale says:

    A new feature of C99: Complex types were added to C as part
    of the effort to make C suitable and attractive for general
    numerical programming. Complex arithmetic is used heavily in
    certain important application areas.

    The underlying implementation of the complex types is Cartesian,
    rather than polar, for overall efficiency and consistency with
    other programming languages. The implementation is explicitly
    stated so that characteristics and behaviors can be defined
    simply and unambiguously.

I think it was largely driven by a desire to support features
supported by Fortran.
