RE : simplification to a determinant



Hi all,

I think it is doable but that needs a lot of time and coding(programming)!

What the others think?

Best regards

Alexandre Campos <alexandre at emc.ufsc.br> a ?crit : Hi people, 
I'd like to know if exist some way to "teach" maxima to recognize that some terms in an expresion form a matrix determinant, e.g. that the expresion:

([dx (dx s1y s2z - dy s1x s2z - dx s1z s2y + dz s1x s2y
  + dy s1z s2x - dz s1y s2x) (s4x s5y s6z - s4y s5x s6z - s4x s5z s6y
 + s4z s5x s6y + s4y s5z s6x - s4z s5y s6x)])

is 

dx (determinant(M))(determinant(N))

where M is matrix:

dx   dy   dz
 s1x s1y s1z
s2x s2y s2z

and N is the matrix

s4x s4y s4z
s5x s5y s5z
 s6x s6y s6z

Thanks in advance,
alexandre
