Hello, I have a complex expression, and I'm computing the first and second derivatives. They're very long expressions that can be factored/simplified. I've tried to do it with Factor, Simplify and even FullSimplify, as well as, substitution (./). However, the expressions are not simplified. This is the function I'm working with: 1 - Tanh[(y - B[t] Cos[k (x - c t)])/Sqrt[1 + (k B[t] Sin[k (x - c t)])^2]] where B[t] is a function: B0+e Cos[w t + o] What I'm looking for, is a method to factorized the resulting expressions (the partial derivatives, wrt x and y, of first and second order) efficiently. I need to code them in C/C++. Thanks in advance for your reply. Best regards, Enrique
