Homework Statement
((1/2)*sin(theta)*cos(phi) - I*(1/2)*sin(theta)*sin(phi))*exp(+I*phi)
should equal:
(1/2)*sin(theta)
Or:
((1/2)*sin(theta)*cos(phi) + I*(1/2)*sin(theta)*sin(phi))*exp(+I*phi)
should equal:
(1/2)*sin(theta)*exp(+2*I*phi)
I may add: Maple 9.5 cannot make the simplification:
exp(-I*phi)*exp(-I*phi) = exp(-2*I*phi);
...I'm trying to automate Maple recognizing this: use simplify(,trig) and simplify(,size). There does not seem to be a simplify(,euler) or simplify(,complex), where one can teach Maple to recognize that cancellation. It would make my life tons easier if there was a way to do that. It must exist...somewhere?
