Re - Maple Programming Help

Re

return the Real part of a complex-valued expression

Im

return the Imaginary part of a complex-valued expression

Calling Sequence

 Re(x) $\mathrm{\Re }\left(x\right)$ Im(x) $\mathrm{\Im }\left(x\right)$

Parameters

 x - expression

Description

 • The Re(x) calling sequence attempts to return the real part of x.
 If x is a real extended numeric, then x is returned. If x is a complex extended numeric, then the real part of x is returned.
 • The Im(x) function attempts to return the imaginary part of x.
 If x is a real extended numeric, then 0 is returned. If x is a complex extended numeric, then the imaginary part of x is returned.
 You can enter the commands Re and Im using their 1-D or 2-D calling sequences. For example, Re(3+4*I) is equivalent to $\mathrm{\Re }\left(3+4I\right)$.
 • If x includes a function f, then Re(x) and Im(x) attempt to execute the procedures Re/f and Im/f to determine the real and imaginary parts of the corresponding part of x.
 By this method, the functionality of these commands can be extended. For example, Re(sin(3+4*I)*ln(3+4*I)) executes the procedures Re/sin, Im/sin, Re/ln, and Im/ln.
 • To specify that unknown variables should be assumed to represent real values, use the assume or the evalc command.

 • The Re and Im commands are thread-safe as of Maple 15.
