Hi there,

can Maple simplify expression

x[1]+x[2]+x[3]+x[4]+x[5]

to

sum(x[i],i=1..5) ?

Or

cos(y[1])+cos(y[2])+cos(y[3])+cos(y[4])+cos(y[5])

to

sum(cos(y[i]),i=1..5)

Its hard to find every such sequences in big equation, so Maple can help may be.

Hi there,

I have

x[i]=sum(sin(theta[j](t)), j = 1 .. i-1)

assuming i is integer and  i>=1 can Maple help me to differentiate with respect to time t ( for example diff(x[i],t) ) so
