Examples of dense sets in the complex plane We know that the set $\left\{a+ib:a,b \in \mathbb{Q} \right\}$ is dense in $\mathbb{C}$. Could one give other examples of dense sets in the complex plane?  
 A: To visulaize, your example is as $\mathbb{Q} \times \mathbb{Q}$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$. So you can rotate, move or some nice scales on this set to produce new dense sets! For example $\mathbb{Q} \times (\pi\mathbb{Q})$ or $(\mathbb{Q} + e) \times (\mathbb{Q} + e)$,...
A: Here are some examples in which the dense set is the graph of a function from $\mathbb R$ to ${\mathbb R}.$
The graph of any discontinuous function $f:{\mathbb R} \rightarrow {\mathbb R}$ having the property that, for all real numbers $a$ and $b$ we have $f(a+b) = f(a) + f(b),$ is dense in the plane. Such functions are very exotic, however, not even being Lebesgue measurable (let alone Borel measurable). An example of a Baire $2$ function having a dense graph is $f(x) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(\frac{1}{2^n}\cdot f_{n}(x)\right),$ where $f_{n}(x) = \frac{1}{x \, - \, r_n}\cdot \sin \left(\frac{1}{x \, - \, r_n}\right)$ (define $f_{n}(r_n)$ to be $0)$ with $\{r_{1}, \, r_{2}, \, r_{3}, \, \ldots \}$ being any fixed enumeration of the set of rational numbers ${\mathbb Q}.$ Note that no Baire $1$ function can have a dense graph, since any function having a dense graph must be discontinuous at every point (and more than this) and every Baire $1$ function has a dense set of continuity points.
(ADDED 13 DAYS LATER) As Yotas Trejos points out in a comment, it is not clear why the example I gave works. Indeed, the example I gave may not even have a dense graph, or worse still, it may not even define a function from the reals to the reals.
A Baire two function with a dense graph is
$$f(x) \;\; = \;\; \limsup_{n \rightarrow \infty} \;\frac{x_1 + x_2 + \cdots + x_n}{\sqrt {n}}$$
where $x_{1},$ $x_{2},$ $x_{3},$ $\ldots$ is the sequence of digits to the right of the decimal point in the nonterminating decimal expansion of the fractional part of $x$ (define $f(x) = 0$ when $x$ is an integer). This is a trivial variation of the Cesàro-Vietoris function in [1] (p. 333), [2], and [4] (pp. 383-384). The graph of $f$ is dense in ${\mathbb R}^{2}.$ In fact, $f$ has the stronger property that for each $x \in {\mathbb R},$ the set of left subsequence limits of $f$ at $x$ is equal to $\mathbb R$ and the set of right subsequence limits of $f$ at $x$ is equal to ${\mathbb R}.$ Note that to have a dense graph it suffices that, at each point $x$ in some set that is dense in ${\mathbb R},$ the set of subsequence limits of $f$ (not necessarily restricted to be from the right side of $x$ or from the left side of $x)$ is equal to ${\mathbb R}.$ (We could replace the last few words with "is equal to a set that is dense in ${\mathbb R}$", but this additional generality is illusionary since the set of subsequence limits at a point is a closed set.)
Incidentally, Beer [1] and Ceder [3] prove related results that are quite interesting and probably little known. Beer (Theorem 3, p. 329) proves that given any function $G:X \rightarrow {\mathbb R},$ where $X$ is a separable metric space, there exists a Baire two function $g:X \rightarrow {\mathbb R}$ such that the (topological) closure of the graph of the function $g$ equals the closure of the graph of the function $G.$ Thus, the existence of a Baire two function $g: {\mathbb R} \rightarrow {\mathbb R}$ with a dense graph follows from the fact that there exists some function (e.g. a non-measurable additive function) that has a dense graph.
Unknown to Beer, Ceder [3] had already obtained this result as a corollary of an even stronger result. Ceder (Theorem 2, p. 4) proves that given any function $G: {\mathbb R} \rightarrow {\mathbb R},$ there exists a Baire two function $g: {\mathbb R} \rightarrow {\mathbb R}$ such that, at each $x \in {\mathbb R},$ the set of left subsequence limits of $g$ at $x$ union $\{g(x)\}$ is equal to the set of left subsequence limits of $G$ at $x$ union $\{G(x)\}$ AND the set of right subsequence limits of $g$ at $x$ union $\{g(x)\}$ is equal to the set of right subsequence limits of $G$ at $x$ union $\{G(x)\}.$ Ceder then states Beer's result (for the case $X = {\mathbb R})$ as a corollary on p. 5.
Brown [2] cites a 1921 paper by Leopold Vietoris, Stetige Mengen, in which the graph of the Cesàro-Vietoris function is shown to be a connected subset of ${\mathbb R}^{2}.$ This paper is the published version of Vietoris' 1920 Ph.D. work (completed in 1919, I think) and it is very important in the history of topology, but Vietoris might (now) be even better known for how long he lived. He was born in 1891 and he obtained his Ph.D. in 1920 (this in spite of his participation in WW I and then becoming a prisoner of war), and yet he died only a few years ago in 2002.

A: If $q$ is a positive irrational number, then $A=\left\{nq-k:n,k\in \mathbb{N}\right\}$ is dense in $\mathbb{R}$; therefore, the set $\left\{a+ib:a,b\in A\right\}$ is dense in $\mathbb{C}$. What I mean in my question is to find some unpopular examples like this one. 
A: The image of $\exp(1/z)$ around any punctured disk centered at zero. (Cf. the Casoratti-Weierstrass theorem).
A: E.g. $\{a+ib: a, b\in D\}$, where $D$ is any set, dense in $\mathbb{R}$. Some examples of $D$ are: $\mathbb{R}$ itself, $\mathbb{Q}+\sqrt{2}\mathbb{Q}$ or $\sqrt{3}\mathbb{Q}$.
A: As Przemysław Scherwentk suggested earlier, all the sets defined as $\{a+ib \, \mid \, a,b\in D \} $, for some dense subset $D\subset\mathbb{R}$, are dense in $\mathbb C$.

If one is looking for some unsual example, even though the following is somewhat common, he/she can consider $D := (-\infty,0)\cup \mathcal A \cup (1,+\infty)$, where $\mathcal A$ is the complement of the Cantor set.
A: A beautiful countable example dense in $\ \mathbb R^2\ $ was given by Wacław Siepiński. It is the graph of function
$$\ S:\ \mathbb Z\ +\ \sqrt 2\cdot\mathbb Z\ \ \rightarrow
   \ \ \mathbb Z+\sqrt 2\cdot\mathbb Z $$
where
$$ \forall_{a\ b\in\mathbb Z}\quad S(a+\sqrt 2\cdot b)\ :=\ b+\sqrt 2\cdot a $$
Wow!
