Here's what I am getting Cos[theta]^2 + Sin[theta]^2 // FullSimplify Out[540]= 1 Cos[theta]^2 + Sin[theta]^2 + L^2 Cos[theta]^2 // FullSimplify Out[541]= 1/2 (2 + L^2 + L^2 Cos[2 theta]) I'm really surprised that the answer in the latter case is not 1+ L^2 Cos[theta]^2 Is there an explanation? Thanks, Sam
