How can I cause Mathematica to expand Sin[2 Pi omega t + 2 Pi delta], where delta and omega are symbols, into the form Cos[2 Pi delta] Sin[2 Pi omega t] + Sin[2 Pi delta] Cos[2 Pi omega t] without using a replacment rule Sin[a_ + b_] -> Sin[a]Cos[b] + Cos[a]Sin[b] explicitly? (No TrigExpand does NOT do the trick -- it expands all the way down to trig functions of Pi delta and Pi t omega!) -- Murray Eisenberg Internet: murray at math.umass.edu Mathematics & Statistics Dept.
