RE: [math-fun] the heck with it, simplification challenge

      Hi,

Regarding the last Mma question:
...
Can some Mma wizard explain how to get Re[ArcSin[2]], e.g.,
(c61) realpart(asin(2))
                                     %pi
(d61)                                 ---
                                      2
It is as simple as

       ComplexExpand[Re[ArcSin[2]]] 

or equivalently

       Re[ArcSin[2]]//ComplexExpand


tested in Mma 5.0 .
