comDenom( expression1,var ) returns a reduced
ratio of numerator and denominator expanded with
respect to
var . The terms and their factors are
sorted with
var as the main variable. Similar powers
of
var are collected. There might be some incidental
factoring of the collected coefficients. Compared to
omitting
var , this often saves time, memory, and
screen space, while making the expression more
comprehensible. It also makes subsequent
operations on the result faster and less likely to
exhaust memory.
comDenom((y^2+y)/(x+1)
^2+y^2+y,x) ¸
comDenom((y^2+y)/(x+1)
^2+y^2+y,y) ¸
If var does not occur in expression1 ,
comDenom( expression1,var ) returns a reduced
ratio of an unexpanded numerator over an
unexpanded denominator. Such results usually save
even more time, memory, and screen space. Such
partially factored results also make subsequent
operations on the result much faster and much less
likely to exhaust memory.
comDenom(exprn,abc)!comden
(exprn) ¸ Done
comden((y^2+y)/(x+1)^2+y^2+y)
¸
Even when there is no denominator, the comden
function is often a fast way to achieve partial
factorization if
factor() is too slow or if it exhausts
memory.
Hint: Enter this
comden() function definition and
routinely try it as an alternative to
comDenom()
and
factor().

CopyVar CATALOG
CopyVar var1 , var2
Copies the contents of variable var1 to var2. If var2
does not exist, CopyVar creates it.
Note:
CopyVar is similar to the store instruction
(! ) when you are copying an expression, list,
matrix, or character string except that no
simplification takes place when using
CopyVar.
You must use
CopyVar with non-algebraic
variable types such as Pic and GDB variables.
