The surer and more stable method for manipulating complex expressions is always ComplexExpand. Conjugate[a b]; ComplexExpand[%, {b}, TargetFunctions -> {Conjugate}] a Conjugate[b] or Conjugate[a b]; Simplify[%, a \[Element] Reals] a Conjugate[b] David Park djmpark at comcast.net http://home.comcast.net/~djmpark/ From: slawek [mailto:a at b.c] In[1] := Im[a] ^= 0; Conjugate[a b] Out[1] := Conjugate[a b] It is not funny, Mathematica 6 properly evaluates the result a Conjugate[b] What happens? slawek
