For example: In[78]:= TrigReduce[ Cos[a](Cos[b])^3] Out[78]= 1 - (Cos[a - 3 b] + 3 Cos[a - b] + 3 Cos[a + b] + Cos[a + 3 b]) 8 Andrzej Kozlowski Toyama International University JAPAN http://platon.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp/andrzej/ On Saturday, August 11, 2001, at 04:40 PM, atjurhs wrote: > How can I use Mathematica to find the expansion of various > trigonometric power > identities?
