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 2-4-6.
You can select the complex number calculation mode by changing the Complex
Mode item on the SET UP 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
re
^ θ
i
• {
} ... Performs complex number calculation and displays results in polar form*
Press K3(CPLX) to display the complex calculation number menu, which contains the
following items.
• {Abs}/{Arg} ... obtains {absolute value}/{argument}
• {Conjg} ... {obtains conjugate}
• {ReP}/{ImP} ... {real}/{imaginary} part extraction
re
^ θ
i
• {
}/{

*
When there is an imaginary number in the
1
argument, however, complex number
calculation is performed and the result is
displayed using rectangular form.
Examples:
ln 2i
= 0.6931471806 + 1.570796327i
ln 2i + ln (- 2 ) = (Non-Real ERROR)
The display range of θ depends on the angle

unit set for the Angle item on the SET UP
screen.
• Deg ... –180 < θ < 180
• Rad ... – π < θ < π
• Gra ... –200 < θ < 200
