Abstract
In §7, we discussed manipulation of polynomials and rational functions. Manipulations such as normalization, collection, sorting, factorization, and expansion passed under review. Characteristic of these manipulations is that they are carried out on expressions as a whole. However, in computations which involve mathematical functions, you frequently want to apply simplification rules that are known for these mathematical functions. For example, in computations which involve trigonometric functions you want to apply the equality sin2 + cos2 = 1. In this chapter, we shall describe how simplifications of expressions containing mathematical functions can be performed.
