Function Reference

simplify()

Applies SumWise's supported symbolic cleanup rules to one expression.

Syntax

simplify(expression)

Argument	Description
`expression`	The symbolic expression to simplify. The function accepts exactly one argument.

Returns the supported simplified form. If no current rule applies, SumWise may return the expression unchanged apart from normal spacing.

simplify(x+0)

Returns x.

simplify(x*1)

Returns x.

simplify(x+x)

Returns 2*x.

simplify(2*x + 3*x)

Returns 5*x.

simplify((x + 1) + (x + 2))

Returns 2*x + 3.

SumWise 2.3 provides supported deterministic simplification rules; it does not claim universal general-purpose CAS simplification.

simplify(3*x/2 + x/2)

Currently returns 3*x/2 + x/2. This rational like-term form remains unchanged in the public 2.3 behavior.

Once SumWise is installed, symbolic calculations are performed locally in the Windows application rather than sent to a web calculation service.
