Hi, Is there a way to calculate the real or imaginary part of a complex expression symbolically (assuming real numbers as parameters) like: Re[x + I y] = x The standard Re function doesn't seem to allow that. Maybe some extensions exist? Regards, Wouter Dobbelaere P.S. please send also a copy to my personal mailbox at dobbel at elis.rug.ac.be
