FullSimplify â-ª FullSimplify[
expr
] tries a wide range of transformations on expr involving elementary and special functions, and returns the simplest form it finds.
â-ª FullSimplify will always yield at least as simple a form as Simplify, but may take substantially longer. â-ª The following options can be given: â-ª FullSimplify uses RootReduce on expressions that involve Root objects. â-ª FullSimplify does transformations on most kinds of special functions. â-ª See the Mathematica book: Section 1.4.4, Section 3.3.9. â-ª See also: Simplify, Factor, Expand, PowerExpand, ComplexExpand, TrigExpand, FunctionExpand.

Differentiating a complicated indefinite integral should yield the integrand.
In[13]:=
Out[13]=
FullSimplify can handle the simplification.
In[14]:=
Out[14]=
Options: ExcludedForms, Trig
In the absence of any constraints, Factorial and Gamma cancel out in this expression.
In[15]:=
Out[15]=
Setting the option ExcludedForms to Factorial inhibits the simplification.
In[16]:=
Out[16]=
Setting it to Gamma does not, because Factorial is expressed in terms of Gamma.
In[17]:=
Out[17]=
In this example, partial simplification not involving Factorial is allowed to happen.
In[18]:=
Out[18]=
Here both the trigonometric and the gamma function are simplified.
In[19]:=
Out[19]=
By contrast, here the trigonometric functions are left untouched.
In[20]:=
Out[20]=
The same effect is obtained by explicitly excluding expressions matching Sin[_] from the simplification.
In[21]:=
Out[21]=
