Print[ FullSimplify[ArcCos[(Sqrt[3]-1)/(2*Sqrt[2])]]//InputForm]; Print[ FullSimplify[ArcSin[(Sqrt[2]+Sqrt[6])/4]]//InputForm]; (5*Pi)/12 ArcSin[(Sqrt[2] + Sqrt[6])/4] Both answers should be 5*Pi/12. This is fouling up a script. Is there a way to get FullSimplify to do exactly that for the ArcSin? Carlos Felippa
