Hi, All:

Just curious if anyone knows of any online or otherwise software to help compute the wedge
of forms, or maybe some method to help simplify. Not about laziness; I don't have that much experience, and I want to double check; I have around 30 terms ( many of which may cancel out) , and 3-4 forms.

Thanks.

What exactly are you having problems with?
 
Well, the issue is that I wedged two forms, and the expanded expression has 30+ terms, and I want to make sure that after all simplifications/cancelling, I have the correct expression. It seems the process of deciding this can be turned into a program, but my programming skills are pretty rusty.
