2-6 Complex Number Calculations

You can perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, parentheses calculations,
function calculations, and memory calculations with complex numbers just as you do with the
manual calculations described on pages 2-1-1 and 2-4-7.
You can select the complex number calculation mode by changing the Complex Mode item
on the Setup screen to one of the following settings.
• { Real } ... Calculation in the real number range only*
a bi
• { + } ... Performs complex number calculation and displays results in rectangular form
r
θ } ... Performs complex number calculation and displays results in polar form*
• {
Press K 3 (CPLX) to display the complex calculation number menu, which contains the
following items.
i
• { } ... {imaginary unit
• { Abs } / { Arg } ... obtains {absolute value}/{argument}
• { Conj } ... {obtains conjugate}
• { ReP } / { ImP } ... {real}/{imaginary} part extraction
r θ a
• {' } / {'

* When there is an imaginary number in
the argument, however, complex number
calculation is performed and the result is
displayed using rectangular form.
Examples:
i
ln 2 = 0.6931471806 + 1.570796327
i
ln 2 + ln (– 2) = (Non-Real ERROR)
2 The display range of θ depends on the angle

unit set for the Angle item on the Setup
screen.
