Hello to all! I am trying to declare the variable S to be real, using the Element command: Element[S, Reals] Next I calculate the complex conjugate of IS (I is the imaginary unit) Conjugate[\[ImaginaryI] S] The result I get is -\[ImaginaryI] Conjugate[S] which should have been -IS. Why does it not recognise S as a real variable? I would appreciate any help. Thanks, Gideon
