Hi,
I'm new to maxima and I have a hard time understanding how
simplification works.
My point is to use "sign" values (I mean integers which take their value
from {-1;1}) and to be able to automate some trigo simplifications like
(in the following, e is a sign and x a real expression):
- sin(e*x) -> e*sin(x)
- cos(e*x) -> cos(x)
- cos(x+(1-e)*%pi/2) -> e*cos(x)
- ...
- and, of course, e^2 -> 1
Is there a way to do this with maxima ?
Thanks,
Jean
