In the following problem though b and c are same (except the way denominator 2 is hanfled), command ' a-b ' readily answers zero, but a-c not so. Why? Only on condition of assumption real it gives zero!

a := (1/2)*(kappa*omega^2+omega^3)*(Y+(1/2)*(-sqrt(N)*omega^(3/2)*sin(theta[2])*cos(varphi[2])*lambda__b+sqrt(N)*omega^(3/2)*sin(theta[1])*cos(varphi[1])*lambda__a)/(kappa*omega^2+omega^3))^2/omega:

b := (1/2)*(kappa*omega^2+omega^3)*(Y+(1/2)*(-sqrt(N)*omega^(3/2)*sin(theta[2])*cos(varphi[2])*lambda__b+sqrt(N)*omega^(3/2)*sin(theta[1])*cos(varphi[1])*lambda__a)/(kappa*omega^2+omega^3))^2/omega:

a-b;

a-c;

(1/2)*(kappa*omega^2+omega^3)*(Y+(1/2)*(-N^(1/2)*omega^(3/2)*sin(theta[2])*cos(varphi[2])*lambda__b+N^(1/2)*omega^(3/2)*sin(theta[1])*cos(varphi[1])*lambda__a)/(kappa*omega^2+omega^3))^2/omega-(1/2)*(kappa*omega^2+omega^3)*(Y+(-N^(1/2)*omega^(3/2)*sin(theta[2])*cos(varphi[2])*lambda__b+N^(1/2)*omega^(3/2)*sin(theta[1])*cos(varphi[1])*lambda__a)/(2*kappa*omega^2+2*omega^3))^2/omega

What difference therms b and c make for Maple? Are they not same?
