Though that would be a red herring if we wanted Mma-like behavior, as Ginac would handle the initial bit. My guess is that Maxima has good reasons for not doing this automatically; you are welcome to email them with an example like (%i2) display2d:false; (%o2) false (%i3) cos(7/8*%pi); (%o3) cos(7*%pi/8) and ask why it doesn't return what you expect, and I would hope they have a pretty well-reasoned answer for this. -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
