Hi, How can I reduce the following formula for instance (Cos[b[x,y]] zx[x,y]-Sin[b[x,y]] zy[x,y]) (zxx Cos[b[x,y]]+zyx Cos[b[x,y]]+ zxx Sin[b[x,y]]-zyx Sin[b[x,y]]+bx (Cos[b[x,y]]-Sin[b[x,y]]) zx[x,y]- bx (Cos[b[x,y]]+Sin[b[x,y]]) zy[x,y]) to the formula zxx zx + zyx zx in mathematica? I know that such a reduction is possible since I did it manually, I just need to test it on more complex expressions. Thank you very much kem
