Frank,
Version 5 ComplexExpand seems to work better than Version 4.2. In 4.2 you
have to use...
ComplexExpand[Abs[x + I*y], TargetFunctions -> {Re, Im}]
Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]
ComplexExpand[x/(x + I*y), TargetFunctions -> {Re, Im}]
x^2/(x^2 + y^2) - (I*x*y)/(x^2 + y^2)
In Version 5 you can leave out the TargetFunctions option.

Hi Bob,
I try this but it does not realy work fine. I use mathematica version 4.2.
Is there anything else like including a special package?
In: ComplexExpand[Abs[x + I*y]]
Out: Abs[x + I y] ???
or
In: ComplexExpand[x/(x+I*y)]
Out: x^2/Abs[x + I y]^2 - I x y/Abs[x + I y]^2 ???
Why you get another output?
Thanks,
Frank
