Hello MathGroupers,
Guess what!? This is not a bug report or a request to be removed
from this list!
[[ applause here ]]
It's a package for dealing with complex expressions. Have you
ever noticed that Mathematica doesn't evaluate Re[x], Conjugate[x],
etc, unless x is a number? There are many situations, however, in
which it is nice to be able to delcare a symbol to represent a real
quantity, so that complex expressions involving that symbol and Re, Im,
Conjugate, and so on can be simplified. This package defines the
function DeclareReal which does just this. It also defines several
other functions which are useful in the context of calculations with
complex expressions.
I would be interested in hearing what people think of it, plus
suggestions for how to improve it. One thing that I have not been able
to work out satisfactorily is how to tell Mathematica that Sqrt[x] is
real when x is real an nonnegative. The package currently just checks
for N[x]>=0, which works if x is a real number but not otherwise.
Similar problems exist for other functions, most notably Power, of
which Sqrt is just a special case. Any ideas?
