Hello, It may be worthwhile checking out HoldForm. exp = HoldForm[Cos[a x - b]] Out[19] = Cos[a x - b] Evaluate[exp] // ReleaseHold Out[20] = Cos[b - a x] On Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 11:18 AM, HO JEE HOU <Jeehou.Ho at nottingham.edu.my> wrote: > Dear all, > > I have an expression which I wish to put it in the form of Cos[a x - b]. > However when I input it to Mathematica, it automatically converted to > Cos[b - a x].
