ComplexExpand is your friend in such situations. (For reasons I don't know, it seems unknown to too many users.) And of course you must use correct Mathematica syntax (but no reason for those explicit * signs): f[z_] := (a z + b)/(c z + d) ComplexExpand[ f[x + I y] ] Alexander wrote: > Hi, > > suppose I have the expression > > f(z) = (a*z+b) / (c*z+d) with z=x+I*y > > I did the calculation by hand and was able to separate real part fom > imag. part to obtain something like this: > > g=f(x+I*y) = Re(g) + I * Im(g) > > But I don't know how to do this in Mathematica.
