Hi, all
I have a question: how to define a symbolic variable as real or complex
explicitly? This is related to what I want to do. In math, if I do
z=x+I*y; Im[z]
what I get is
Im[x]+Re[y]
instead of what I want
y
If I can define "x" and "y" explicitly as real variables, I should be
able to do this. Or is there any other way to do it?
Thanks.
Wu, Biao
