Talk:Real part

Well, I wonder who decided that


 * (from Real_part or simalar in Imaginary_part)


 * It is denoted by $$\mbox{Re} \{ z \}$$ or $$\Re \{ z \}$$

http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/images/button_math.png

where the second appear bigger and somehow preferred, while the more common way to refer to real part is:


 * (from Imaginary_number)


 * The number $$x\ $$, defined by


 * $$x = \operatorname{Re}(z) $$


 * is the real part of the complex number, $$z\ $$, and $$y\ $$, defined by


 * $$y = \operatorname{Im}(z) $$


 * is the imaginary part.

What do you think about this? A unique standard is not to be preferred? Kar.ma 13:32, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
