Mathematica v5: How can I input vectors in polar form and
rectangular form?
Example:
a:= (r1, theta1) + (r2, theta2) Polar form.
b:= (re1 , j* im1) + (re2, j*im2) Rectangular form
I know this should be pretty basic, but I haven't found examples
of this kind of input.
I would guess it would be something like:
Polar[magnitude, phase]
Rectangular[Real, Imaginary]
but, apparently not. (This is for electronics engineering.)
Thanks for any help.
