NAME

Math::GSL::Complex - Complex Numbers

SYNOPSIS

    use Math::GSL::Complex qw/:all/;
    my $complex = Math::GSL::Complex->new([3,2]); # creates a complex number 3+2*i
    my $real = $complex->real;                    # returns the real part
    my $imag = $complex->imag;                    # returns the imaginary part
    $complex->gsl_set_real(5);                    # changes the real part to 5
    $complex->gsl_set_imag(4);                    # changes the imaginary part to 4
    $complex->gsl_set_complex(7,6);               # changes it to 7 + 6*i
    ($real, $imag) = $complex->parts;             # get both at once

EXAMPLES

This code defines $z as 6 + 4*i, takes the complex conjugate of that number, then prints it out.

    my $z = gsl_complex_rect(6,4);
    my $y = gsl_complex_conjugate($z);
    my ($real, $imag) = gsl_parts($y);
    print "z = $real + $imag*i\n";

This code defines $z as 5 + 3*i, multiplies it by 2 and then prints it out.

    my $x = gsl_complex_rect(5,3);
    my $z = gsl_complex_mul_real($x, 2);
    my $real = gsl_real($z);
    my $imag = gsl_imag($z);
    print "Re(\$z) = $real\n";
