Great, welcome in the Sage family ;) > Any help would be much appreciated! > That's simply a matter of automatic simplification. Your more complex term with the sum is just not covered by those simplification rules. Others might tell you more details, but basically it's just that. Think about a much bigger term: There is no way that all possible simplifications are done automatically while still being fast. Of course, there are also simplification commands for the resulting term to do it on demand.
