FullSimplify

  • FullSimplify[ expr ] tries a wide range of transformations on expr involving elementary and special functions, and returns the simplest form it finds.
  • FullSimplify[ expr , assum ] does simplification using assumptions.
  • FullSimplify will always yield at least as simple a form as Simplify, but may take substantially longer.
  • The following options can be given:
  • FullSimplify does transformations on most kinds of special functions.
  • See notes for Simplify.
  • See The Mathematica Book on the web:Section 1.4.4 and Section 3.3.9.
  • Implementation Notes on the web: see Section A.9.5.
