Dear friends,
I have a question on a taylor series, that is this one:
A·e^(i (x))
That is:
cos (x)+ i sin (x)
becouse of the taylor's. But, is this wrong?
A·e^(v (x)) = cos (x)+ v sin (x) (v is a vector).
Tks.

hello
i have to simplify this :
sin(a)sin(b-c) + sin(b)sin(c-a) + sin(c)sin(a-b)
I did simplify it and I got it equal to zero. But my problem is, I did too many steps in order to do that. Does anyone have a shorter way to simplify that ??
thx!
