For what it's worth, I found that working with complex numbers in clojure doesn't require specialist types or notation at all:
(defn complex-times [[a_re a_im] [b_re b_im]] [(- (* a_re b_re) (* a_im b_im)) (+ (* a_re b_im) (* a_im b_re))]) (defn complex-plus [[a_re a_im] [b_re b_im]] [(+ a_re b_re) (+ a_im b_im)]) (defn complex-minus [[a_re a_im] [b_re b_im]] [(- a_re b_re) (- a_im b_im)]) (defn complex-abs [[re im]] (Math/hypot re im)) (prn (complex-abs (complex-plus [1.5 1] (complex-times [1 -2] [2 -1])))) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
