Normalization in the context of symbolic formulas often refers to simplifying expressions, factoring out common terms, and making them more readable. SymPy provides various functions for normalization and simplification of expressions. Here are some examples:
1. **Simplify a Rational Expression:**
```python
from sympy import symbols, simplify, Rational
# Define symbolic variables
x, y = symbols('x y')
# Define a rational expression
expression = (x**2 - y**2) / (x - y)
# Simplify the expression
simplified_expression = simplify(expression)
print("Original Expression:", expression)
print("Simplified Expression:", simplified_expression)
```
2. **Expand and Simplify:**
```python
from sympy import symbols, expand, simplify
# Define symbolic variables
x, y = symbols('x y')
# Define an expression to expand and simplify
expression = (x + y)**3
# Expand the expression
expanded_expression = expand(expression)
# Simplify the expanded expression
simplified_expression = simplify(expanded_expression)
print("Original Expression:", expression)
print("Expanded Expression:", expanded_expression)
print("Simplified Expanded Expression:", simplified_expression)
```
3. **Factorization:**
```python
from sympy import symbols, factor
# Define symbolic variables
x, y = symbols('x y')
# Define an expression to factorize
expression = x**2 - y**2
# Factorize the expression
factored_expression = factor(expression)
print("Original Expression:", expression)
print("Factored Expression:", factored_expression)
```
4. **Trigonometric Simplification:**
```python
from sympy import symbols, sin, cos, simplify_trig
# Define symbolic variable
x = symbols('x')
# Define a trigonometric expression
expression = sin(x)**2 + cos(x)**2
# Simplify the trigonometric expression
simplified_trig_expression = simplify_trig(expression)
print("Original Trigonometric Expression:", expression)
print("Simplified Trigonometric Expression:", simplified_trig_expression)
```
5. **Square Root Simplification:**
```python
from sympy import symbols, sqrt, simplify
# Define symbolic variable
x = symbols('x')
# Define an expression with square roots
expression = sqrt(x**2)
# Simplify the expression with square roots
simplified_expression = simplify(expression)
print("Original Expression:", expression)
print("Simplified Expression with Square Roots:", simplified_expression)
```
These examples demonstrate various ways to normalize and simplify expressions using SymPy. Depending on your specific needs and the nature of your formulas, you can choose the appropriate normalization techniques.
