If you want to try another way to solve your problem, instead of ComplexExpand[], FullSimplify[], etc. you could download the AbsArg package from here: http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/MathSource/4485/#downloads This package also needs the file "NonNegativeQ.m" http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/MathSource/647/ HTH, ~Scout~ <carlos at colorado.edu> wrote news:eonhr6$i8$1 at smc.vnet.net... > Just curious.
