Reals

Reals

represents the domain of real numbers, as in x∈Reals.

Details

  • x∈Reals evaluates immediately if x is a numeric quantity.
  • Simplify[expr∈Reals,assum] can be used to try to determine whether an expression corresponds to a real number under the given assumptions.
  • (x1|x2|…)∈Reals and {x1,x2,…}∈Reals test whether all xi are real numbers.
  • Within Simplify and similar functions, objects that satisfy inequalities are always assumed to be real.
  • Reals is output in StandardForm or TraditionalForm as TemplateBox[{}, Reals]. This typeset form can be input using reals.
