For your function, h[s_] = 1/(s^3 + 2s^2 + 2s + 1); You can obtain the real and imaginary parts as follows: Simplify @ ComplexExpand @ Through @ {Re, Im} @ h[I w] Cheers, Paul -- Paul Abbott Phone: +61 8 9380 2734 School of Physics, M013 Fax: +61 8 9380 1014 The University of Western Australia (CRICOS Provider No 00126G) 35 Stirling Highway Crawley WA 6009 mailto:paul at physics.uwa.edu.au AUSTRALIA http://physics.uwa.edu.au/~paul
