Comment (by kcrisman):
In `def simplify`,
{{{
.. seealso::
:meth:`simplify_full`, :meth:`simplify_trig`,
:meth:`simplify_rational`, :meth:`simplify_factorial`,
:meth:`simplify_log`
}}}
You just removed it here rather than replacing it; intentional or not?
It's still useful, could put a reference in.
(For that matter, we also now have several ''other'' `simplify_foo`
methods which should be added to the lists of simplifications in a few
places.)
{{{#!diff
# Add elementwise methods.
for method in ['simplify', 'simplify_exp', 'simplify_factorial',
'simplify_log', 'simplify_radical', 'simplify_rational',
- 'simplify_trig', 'simplify_full', 'trig_expand', 'trig_reduce']:
+ 'simplify_trig', 'simplify_full', 'trig_expand',
+ 'canonicalize_radical', 'trig_reduce']:
setattr(Vector_symbolic_dense, method, apply_map(getattr(Expression,
method)))
}}}
Why is this keeping `simplify_radical`?
> Maybe you just have to think of the complex square root in terms of the
complex exponential and logarithm, at which point it becomes OK for
canonicalize_radical() to affect certain log/exp expressions?
Sure! But I mean that the name, if anything, is more about exp/log then
as opposed to radicals. Just seems curious, and wondering whether a
better name is possible. It may not be.
