Something I just noticed about FullSimplify: w +/- 2 Pi wC +/- 2 Pi wH//FullSimplify outputs w + 2 Pi (wC + wH) and w - 2 Pi (wC + w H) respectively.... however...if the signs of the coefficients of wC and wH are opposite....i.e. w -/+ 2 Pi wC +/- 2 Pi wH//FullSimplify the output remains the same....i.e. you dont get... w - 2 Pi (wC - wH) and w + 2 Pi (wC-wH) ....as I would have expected.....in writing this out for Mathgroup, I see that Mathematica would have to change the signs inside the parentheses for wH, for example....or decide to output the first result as... w + 2 Pi (wH-wC) for example.... why this difference in the two? i.e. Mathematica duzz FullSimplify the first form.....but not the second form......or have I answered my own question? jerry blimbaum Panama City, Florida
