This post isn't really specific to Macs, except that I'm running Maple on a Mac. I just don't know where else to go, I can't seem to find a forum for Maple users to just discuss "how to" and things. Hopefully someone on here is familiar with the program enough to answer this question.
I have a big string of complex stuff... I have e to the i's added to other e to the -i's and I have the whole thing times i. I need to take the complex conjugate, but Maple won't do it, it just spits out the whole expression with a bar over it.
I ran a couple tests and Maple knows how to take the complex conjugate of e^i and it knows how to take the complex conjugate of i but it can't do i*e^i (it spits out -i times e^i and puts a bar over the e^i part.) It also won't do e^i-e^-i, even though it can do each part of the difference if input by itself. How do I get it to actually take the complex conjugate instead of putting a bar over it? I tried putting the conjugate(____) inside evalf() but it didn't do anything. I tried evalc (don't really get what it does, just found it from a google search) and it gave back something ridiculous with all kinds of "signum" stuff and sines and cosines and the natural log of e all over the place and it was a huge long thing for just the complex conjugate of e^i-e^-i, which is just e^-i-e^i. I have no clue why it's so hard to get Maple to do something as simple as "change the sign every time you see an i." Can anyone help?
