Hello Smath,

I would like to thank you too for providing such a great program.
When I tried some basic calculation I found some inconsistance
in the way a term is evaluated.

If I try: π/6 + π/6 ->
I will get 12π/36.
By using the menu this can be simplified to π/3

If I assign: X1:=π/6 X2:=π/6
and try: X1 + X2 ->
I will get 7440786129085100/7105427357601000

I would have expected the same result like in the direct calculation.

I had a similar effect when calculating a definite integral
from -π/6 to +π/6 of cos(x)dx I will get the result 1.
If I do the same integral for √2*cos(x)dx I will get 7071/5000

In general I would say that results should stay symbolic as far as possible.
It would also be nice if results would already be simplified as far as possible.

This happens because definite integrals program can evaluate only in numeric, that's why we can't fix it now. But I'll remember it for the future.

Thanks for this finding, will try to fix it till next release.

One of the issues fixed:


Will be available in the next version of SMath Studio. Thank you once again Good
