10.2.13 Transforming complex exponentials into sin and cos

The sincos or exp2trig command uses the identity ei x=cos(x)+isin(x) to rewrite complex exponentials in terms of sine and cosine.

Examples

sincos(exp(i*x))
cos x+i sin x           
exp2trig(exp(-i*x))
cos xi sin x           
simplify(sincos(((i)*(exp((i)*x))^2-i)/(2*exp((i)*x))))

or:

simplify(exp2trig(((i)*(exp((i)*x))^2-i)/(2*exp((i)*x))))
sin x
