Hello,
I just like to show this stange behaviour of FullSimplify on Win95
(Mathematica 3.0).
In[1]:=
FullSimplify[Cos[q3+qp1+qp3]-I Sin[q3+qp1+qp3]] Out[1]=
Cos[q3+qp1+qp3]-I Sin[q3+qp1+qp3]
In[2]:=
FullSimplify[TrigToExp[Cos[q3+qp1+qp3]-I Sin[q3+qp1+qp3]]] Out[2]=
E^((-I)*(q3 + qp1 + qp3))
In[3]:=
{LeafCount[%1],LeafCount[%2]}
Out[3]=
{15,10}
Ofcourse, simplification is in some sence an art, but stil one wishes
better performance. Also I have noticed that sometimes
Fullsimplification gives much more better rezults when ExpToTrig is
applied before.
