Thanks for the answers! For the purpose of my master thesis I am trying to 
optimize the simulaion of helicopter dynamics. These dynamics are pretty 
complicated, which leads to huge equations for most states. In order to 
speed up the calculation I need to detect functions that where already 
evaluated. The inner derivative that is produced due to the chain rule is 
such a function, that I need to detect.

*factor()* works only for the first derivative unfortunately. In the second 
and higher derivatives it does not factorize the inner derivates anymore:

t = sym.symbols('t')
diff( (sin(t)+exp(t))**5 , t )
>> (exp(t) + sin(t))**4*(5*exp(t) + 5*cos(t))

factor(diff( (sin(t)+exp(t))**5 , t ))
>> 5*(exp(t) + sin(t))**4*(exp(t) + cos(t))

factor(diff( (sin(t)+exp(t))**5 , t, t ))
>> 5*(exp(t) + sin(t))**3*(5*exp(2*t) + 8*exp(t)*cos(t) - sin(t)**2 + 
4*cos(t)**2)


I think, writing my own differentiation programm will be a little bit to 
hard to solve my issue. Is there no other way besides factor() and wiriting 
my own programm?


Thank for your help!
