simplify/polar
simplify complex-valued expressions involving polar forms
Calling Sequence
Parameters
Description
Examples
simplify(expr, polar)
expr
-
any expression
polar
literal name; polar
The simplify/polar function is used to simplify complex-valued expressions by applying the identities
polara,br→polarar,rbifrisreal
rpolara,b→polarra,bifrisreal
polara,bpolarc,d→polarac,b+d
polara,c+polarb,±c→polara±b,c
Furthermore, a sum of polars with numeric arguments is combined if at least one term has floating-point arguments. For more general sums of polars, use evalc.
