Hi Brian, what you see is a piecewise function, indicated by the lonely left brace. The first part means: if:c Mg (rg+rp)+rg (-c Mg+rg+rp)>=0 then the function value is -1 and otherwise the next epression. However, why you get the same function for c Mg (rg+rp)+rg (-c Mg+rg+rp)>=0 and c Mg (rg+rp)+rg (-c Mg+rg+rp)<0 and why this is not simplified I can not tell. hope this helps, Daniel Brian Beckage wrote: > Hi all, > > Can anyone provide some guidance on how to interpret the result of > FullSimplify[ ] given in the Cell Expression copied below?
