Hello. This appeared recently, but sice there was no response, I make one more attempt. ff = Pi*Cos[1/7*Pi]*Cos[2/7*Pi]* Cos[3/7*Pi]/Sin[Pi*Cos[1/7*Pi]*Cos[2/7*Pi]*Cos[3/7*Pi]]; I try to simplify ff. In[194]:= o1=FullSimplify[Together[TrigToExp[ff]]] Out[194]= (1/4)*Sqrt[1 + 1/Sqrt[2]]*Pi or as an another way take In[199]:= o2=FullSimplify[TrigFactor //@ ff] Out[199]= (1/8)*Pi*Csc[Pi/8] o1 was obtained by FullSimplify[Together[TrigToExp[ff]]]. Why doesn't In[206]:= FullSimplify[ff, TransformationFunctions -> {Automatic, TrigToExp, Together}] Out[206]= Pi*Cos[Pi/7]*Cos[(2*Pi)/7]*Cos[(3*Pi)/7]*Csc[Pi*Cos[Pi/7]*Cos[(2*Pi)/ 7]*Cos[(3*Pi)/7]] do the same thing? What I miss here? Also, why the following does suceed? In[213]:= FullSimplify[ff, TransformationFunctions -> {Automatic, FullSimplify}] Out[213]= (1/8)*Pi*Csc[Pi/8] Thank you very much!
