# output format including complex numbers [closed]

I have the following output. How can I convert this unnecessarily long expression into a single result (like z=u+iv) ?

$\frac{(\text{} (0.0000540641 +0. i)-(0.0000422121 -0.0000372664 i)) \text{}^*-\text{} (0.0000422121 +0.0000372664 i)-(0.0815183 +0. i)}{(\text{} (0.0000195917 +0.00735289 i)-(0.00102104 +0.00774092 i)) ((0.0000195917 -0.00735289 i) \text{}^*-(0.00102104 -0.00774092 i))}$

What do the "@" and "*" mean? (In Mathematica's interpretation they would amount to nonsense, which could be a large part of your problem.) –  whuber Feb 5 '13 at 13:15
"@" is not included at the output. Please just ignore it. Somehow it comes by default when I "copy as" the output in Latex format. Weird! –  ivan Feb 5 '13 at 13:24
Copy as Input Text and then paste it in the question, highlight it and click the {} button –  ssch Feb 5 '13 at 13:26
Input text+highlight+{} did not work well. Anyway, I just removed the "@"s by hand. –  ivan Feb 5 '13 at 13:33
Let me pose the question other way around. Why Mathematica does not just take the complex conjugates then subtract the expressions and finally divide them. I do not get it. I used Simplify and some other commands. But still problem stands! Help please. –  ivan Feb 5 '13 at 14:01

expr = ToExpression[
"$\\frac{(\\text{} (0.0000540641@ +0. i)-(0.0000422121@ \ -0.0000372664 i)) \\text{}^*-\\text{} (0.0000422121@ +0.0000372664 \ i)-(0.0815183@ +0. i)}{(\\text{} (0.0000195917@ +0.00735289 \ i)-(0.00102104@ +0.00774092 i)) ((0.0000195917@ -0.00735289 i) \ \\text{}^*-(0.00102104@ -0.00774092 i))}$"

I didn't verify it parsed to the same thing but it gives -2115.25 - 4552.06 I
