Dealing with long line formulas - Searching for a matrix equivalent represetation tool - Messages
#1 Posted: 4/4/2026 10:11:11 AM
Hello Everybody,
Sometimes, I deal with formulas laying out in a very long line, as shown in the appended file examples.
Long Lines Formulas - Width Reduction.sm
To improve the use of such structures, I consider using a matrix presentation.
The sum of the matrix terms is equivalent to the input formula; see the checks in my examples.
Seeing the complex imbrication of the input formula’s terms, the “by hand organization” treatment is often fastidious and hard to prevent errors.
I imagine that many people had to face this problem of handling results from symbolic integration, for instance.
I noticed useful tools like “simplify,” “expand,” and “convert,” available with MAPLE. They are available also with Maxima.
I wonder if there is a way or a tool to deal with the problem in a more specific way?
Thanks for your attention and for your solutions.
Regards,
Ioan

Here is a version with the Mathcad block.
Unfortunatly not without something strange happening in the background.
Long Lines Formulas - Width Reduction_Kr.sm

Thanks for the attempt.
I tried to use some features available for manipulating formulas as wel in MAPLE as in MAXIMA, namely: expand() and simplify().
My idea is applied in the appended file. Long Lines Formulas - Width Reduction bis .sm
This helped me to organize better (?) by hand the input sausage formula but it is not my hope.
My optimistic expectation would be a tool that handle this organization in enough simple way.

I did proposed a better solution several years ago.
