Description

Take the following testcase

Assert.assertEquals(neginf, inf* neginf, Double.MIN_VALUE);  // <--Passes ordinary double
Assert.assertEquals(new Complex(neginf, 0), new Complex(inf, 0).multiply(new Complex(neginf, 0)));// <-- Fail only real parts no imaginary parts 

The outcome of multiply is Complex.INF if one part is infinity.
why not simply compute the multiplication and thats is?
