Just write
res1,transpose;
or
res1,nouns;
to evaluate transpose() in your expression. (The expand() function has
nothing to do with evaluating noun forms.)

Subject: How to expand or verbify it?
Hello,
how to handle such problem. After some substitutions I obtain such result:
mP . 'transpose(A . B + C);
where is the sign ' is before the transpose function and this cause the
problem to me when I do:
(%i413) res1: P . 'transpose(A . B + C);
(%o413) P . transpose(C + A . B)
and try to expand the result
(%i414) expand(res1);
(%o414) P . transpose(C + A . B)
the command expand do not work. If I do
(%i417) ''res1;
(%o417) P . transpose(C + A . B)
(%i418) verbify(res1);
verbify: argument must be a symbol or a string; found: P . transpose(C + A .
B)
-- an error. To debug this try: debugmode(true);
How to expand it ? How to remove the sign ' before transpose function to
obtain such result as below ?
If I write without the sign ' before transpose it works as expected:
(%i421) res2: P . transpose(A . B + C);
(%o421) P . (transpose(C) + transpose(B) . transpose(A))
(%i422) expand(res2);
(%o422) P . transpose(C) + P . transpose(B) . transpose(A)
Thanks,
Zbigniew
