Good morning to all,

I'm checking some symbolic hand calculation and getting used (again, after a stop) with symbolic calculations in SMath.

And I've encountered some "strange" behaviors : it seems that, depending on how the same function (to be evalueted symbolically),
is written, the result is the one expected or not....

I'd not say, in a first instance, it is a bug: maybe I'm violating something implemented
in SMath...please, have a look to the attached file.

Any suggestion is more than welcome!

Thanks

Best Regards

Choose a better alternative for symbolic calculations.
Maxima or Maple plugins usually (always) win over built-in engine.
Expand function generally does what you seek.
