Clear[x, y]; z = x + I*y; Assuming[{Element[{x, y}, Reals]}, Simplify[Re[z]]] x Assuming[{Element[{x, y}, Reals]}, Simplify[Im[z]]] y Or something like Clear[defineReal]; SetAttributes[defineReal, Listable]; defineReal[x_Symbol] := Module[{}, x /: Re[x] = x; x /: Im[x] = 0;] defineReal[{x, y}]; Re[z] x Im[z] y Bob Hanlon On Mon, Jan 5, 2009 at 7:05 AM , Ising wrote: > Hi: > I want to define the variables x and y are real at first,then: > z=x+I*y; > Re[z]=x > Im[z]=y > Using "Assumptions" "Assuming"?
