Im quite new to Maple, how do I extract the imaginary part of sqrt(I)? Im sure it is just Im(sqrt(I)) and Re(sqrt(I)), but the Im part just returns the real part againg for some reason, does anyone know what I am doing wrong here?

 

I'm using maple 9 by the way

>sqrt(I);

1/2*2^(1/2)+1/2*I*2^(1/2)

>Re(sqrt(I));

1/2*2^(1/2)

>Im(sqrt(I));

1/2*2^(1/2)
