MathCAD - separation of real and imaginary parts of a complex variable

Click For Summary
To separate a complex number into its real and imaginary parts, users are seeking guidance on handling complex expressions with multiple variables. While some mention the Re() and Im() functions in MathCad, they express frustration that these functions do not effectively isolate the components as needed. The discussion highlights a need for clearer tutorials or methods to achieve this separation in complex numbers involving various variables.
