Hi,
I'm a newbie to Maxima (5.9.0 under LINUX) and I'm puzzled by this:
(C1) load(eigen);
Warning - you are redefining the MACSYMA function EIGENVALUES
Warning - you are redefining the MACSYMA function EIGENVECTORS
(D1) /Net/hubble/Users/felix/local/share/maxima/5.9.0/share/matrix/eigen.mac
(C2) declare(a,complex);
(D2) DONE
(C3) realpart(conjugate(a));
(D3) REALPART(a)
Obviously the result is wrong if - as described in the documentation -
"conjugate" is a function that returns the complex conjugate of its
argument.
Can someone give an explanation?
And, why isn't conjugate an intrinsic function but - according to the
documentation - needs to be loaded as part of the EIGEN package?
Felix
