convert/elementary

convert special functions in an expression into elementary functions

 Calling Sequence convert(expr, elementary)

Parameters

 expr - Maple expression, equation, or a set or list of them

Description

 • convert/elementary converts, when possible, the special functions in an expression into elementary transcendental functions. The elementary transcendental functions are
 The 26 functions in the "elementary" class are:
 $\left[{\mathrm{arccos}}{,}{\mathrm{arccosh}}{,}{\mathrm{arccot}}{,}{\mathrm{arccoth}}{,}{\mathrm{arccsc}}{,}{\mathrm{arccsch}}{,}{\mathrm{arcsec}}{,}{\mathrm{arcsech}}{,}{\mathrm{arcsin}}{,}{\mathrm{arcsinh}}{,}{\mathrm{arctan}}{,}{\mathrm{arctanh}}{,}{\mathrm{cos}}{,}{\mathrm{cosh}}{,}{\mathrm{cot}}{,}{\mathrm{coth}}{,}{\mathrm{csc}}{,}{\mathrm{csch}}{,}{\mathrm{exp}}{,}{\mathrm{ln}}{,}{\mathrm{sec}}{,}{\mathrm{sech}}{,}{\mathrm{sin}}{,}{\mathrm{sinh}}{,}{\mathrm{tan}}{,}{\mathrm{tanh}}\right]$ (1)
