In[1]:= U[f_]:=1.0*Integrate[Cos[(f*Pi)/(180*2) + alpha],{alpha,-(Pi/3), Pi/3}]

In[2]:= U[60]

                        -16
Out[2]= 1.5 - 6.08617 10    I

In[3]:= Integrate[Cos[(f*Pi)/(180*2) + alpha],{alpha, -(Pi/3), Pi/3}]

                    f Pi
Out[3]= Sqrt[3] Cos[----]
                    360

Cos[f Pi/360] should be real vor any real f. How can I avoid results
like Out[2] (exepct using Chop[] or Re[])?

PS:
Thanks for the help with my other problems last week.
h.f.s.
