=head3 simplify
Simplify just before assignment.
There is no general simplification algorithm. So try various methods and
see if any simplifications occur. This is cheating really, because the
examples will represent these specific transformations as general
features which they are not. On the other hand, Mathematics is full of
specifics so I suppose its not entirely unacceptable.
Simplification cannot be done after every operation as it is
inefficient, doing it as part of += ameliorates this inefficiency.
Note: += only works as a synonym for simplify() if the left hand side is
currently undefined. This can be enforced by using my() as in: my $z +=
($x**2+5x+6)/($x+2);

The B<symbols()> routine constructs references to symbolic variables and
symbolic constants from a list of names and integer constants.
The special symbol B<i> is recognized as the square root of B<-1>.
The special symbol B<pi> is recognized as the smallest positive real
that satisfies:
Example t/ipi.t
#!perl -w

#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>2;
my ($i, $pi) = symbols(qw(i pi));
ok( exp($i*$pi) == -1 );
ok( exp($i*$pi) <=> '-1' );
=head3 Constructor Routine Name
If you wish to use a different name for the constructor routine, say
B<S>:
Example t/ipi2.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: constants.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols symbols=>'S';
use Test::Simple tests=>2;
my ($i, $pi) = S(qw(i pi));
ok( exp($i*$pi) == -1 );
ok( exp($i*$pi) <=> '-1' );
=head3 Big Integers
Symbols automatically uses big integers if needed.
Example t/bigInt.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: bigInt.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>1;

ok( eval $z eq '1');
=head2 Operators
L</Symbols> can be combined with L</Operators> to create symbolic expressions:
=head3 Arithmetic operators
=head4 Arithmetic Operators: B<+> B<-> B<*> B</> B<**>
Example t/x2y2.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: simplification.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>3;
my ($x, $y) = symbols(qw(x y));
ok( ($x**2-$y**2)/($x-$y) == $x+$y );
ok( ($x**2-$y**2)/($x-$y) != $x-$y );
ok( ($x**2-$y**2)/($x-$y) <=> '$x+$y' );
The operators: B<+=> B<-=> B<*=> B</=> are overloaded to work
symbolically rather than numerically. If you need numeric results, you
can always B<eval()> the resulting symbolic expression.
=head4 Square root Operator: B<sqrt>
Example t/ix.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: sqrt(-1).
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>2;
my ($x, $i) = symbols(qw(x i));
ok( sqrt(-$x**2) == $i*$x );
ok( sqrt(-$x**2) <=> 'i*$x' );
The square root is represented by the symbol B<i>, which allows complex
expressions to be processed by Math::Complex.
=head4 Exponential Operator: B<exp>
Example t/expd.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: exp.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>2;
my ($x, $i) = symbols(qw(x i));
ok( exp($x)->d($x) == exp($x) );
ok( exp($x)->d($x) <=> 'exp($x)' );
The exponential operator.
=head4 Logarithm Operator: B<log>
Example t/logExp.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: log: need better example.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>1;
my ($x) = symbols(qw(x));
ok( log($x) <=> 'log($x)' );
Logarithm to base B<e>.
Note: the above result is only true for x > 0. B<Symbols> does not include domain and range
specifications of the functions it uses.
=head4 Sine and Cosine Operators: B<sin> and B<cos>
Example t/sinCos.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: simplification.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>3;
my ($x) = symbols(qw(x));
ok( sin($x)**2 + cos($x)**2 == 1 );
ok( sin($x)**2 + cos($x)**2 != 0 );
ok( sin($x)**2 + cos($x)**2 <=> '1' );
This famous trigonometric identity is not preprogrammed into B<Symbols>
as it is in commercial products.
Instead: an expression for B<sin()> is constructed using the complex
exponential: L</exp>, said expression is algebraically multiplied out to
prove the identity. The proof steps involve large intermediate
expressions in each step, as yet I have not provided a means to neatly
lay out these intermediate steps and thus provide a more compelling
demonstration of the ability of B<Symbols> to verify such statements
from first principles.
=head3 Relational operators
=head4 Relational operators: B<==>, B<!=>
Example t/x2y2.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: simplification.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>3;
my ($x, $y) = symbols(qw(x y));
ok( ($x**2-$y**2)/($x-$y) == $x+$y );
ok( ($x**2-$y**2)/($x-$y) != $x-$y );
ok( ($x**2-$y**2)/($x-$y) <=> '$x+$y' );
The relational equality operator B<==> compares two symbolic expressions
and returns TRUE(1) or FALSE(0) accordingly. B<!=> produces the opposite
result.
=head4 Relational operator: B<eq>
Example t/eq.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: solving.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>3;
my ($x, $v, $t) = symbols(qw(x v t));
ok( ($v eq $x / $t)->solve(qw(x in terms of v t)) == $v*$t );
ok( ($v eq $x / $t)->solve(qw(x in terms of v t)) != $v+$t );
ok( ($v eq $x / $t)->solve(qw(x in terms of v t)) <=> '$v*$t' );
The relational operator B<eq> is a synonym for the minus B<-> operator,
with the expectation that later on the L<solve()|/Solving equations>
function will be used to simplify and rearrange the equation. You may
prefer to use B<eq> instead of B<-> to enhance readability, there is no
functional difference.
=head3 Complex operators
=head4 Complex operators: the B<dot> operator: B<^>
Example t/dot.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: dot operator. Note the low priority
# of the ^ operator.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>3;
my ($a, $b, $i) = symbols(qw(a b i));
ok( (($a+$i*$b)^($a-$i*$b)) == $a**2-$b**2 );
ok( (($a+$i*$b)^($a-$i*$b)) != $a**2+$b**2 );
ok( (($a+$i*$b)^($a-$i*$b)) <=> '$a**2-$b**2' );
Note the use of brackets: The B<^> operator has low priority.
The B<^> operator treats its left hand and right hand arguments as
complex numbers, which in turn are regarded as two dimensional vectors
to which the vector dot product is applied.
=head4 Complex operators: the B<cross> operator: B<x>
Example t/cross.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: cross operator.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>3;
my ($x, $i) = symbols(qw(x i));
ok( $i*$x x $x == $x**2 );
ok( $i*$x x $x != $x**3 );
ok( $i*$x x $x <=> '$x**2' );
The B<x> operator treats its left hand and right hand arguments as
complex numbers, which in turn are regarded as two dimensional vectors
defining the sides of a parallelogram. The B<x> operator returns the
area of this parallelogram.
Note the space before the B<x>, otherwise Perl is unable to disambiguate
the expression correctly.
=head4 Complex operators: the B<conjugate> operator: B<~>
Example t/conjugate.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: dot operator. Note the low priority
# of the ^ operator.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>3;
my ($x, $y, $i) = symbols(qw(x y i));
ok( ~($x+$i*$y) == $x-$i*$y );
ok( ~($x-$i*$y) == $x+$i*$y );
ok( (($x+$i*$y)^($x-$i*$y)) <=> '$x**2-$y**2' );
The B<~> operator returns the complex conjugate of its right hand side.
=head4 Complex operators: the B<modulus> operator: B<abs>
Example t/abs.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: dot operator. Note the low priority
# of the ^ operator.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>3;
my ($x, $i) = symbols(qw(x i));
ok( abs($x+$i*$x) == sqrt(2*$x**2) );
ok( abs($x+$i*$x) != sqrt(2*$x**3) );
ok( abs($x+$i*$x) <=> 'sqrt(2*$x**2)' );
The B<abs> operator returns the modulus (length) of its right hand side.
=head4 Complex operators: the B<unit> operator: B<!>
Example t/unit.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: unit operator.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>4;
my ($i) = symbols(qw(i));
ok( !$i == $i );
ok( !$i <=> 'i' );
ok( !($i+1) <=> '1/(sqrt(2))+i/(sqrt(2))' );
ok( !($i-1) <=> '-1/(sqrt(2))+i/(sqrt(2))' );
The B<!> operator returns a complex number of unit length pointing in
the same direction as its right hand side.
=head3 Equation Manipulation Operators
=head4 Equation Manipulation Operators: B<Simplify> operator: B<+=>
Example t/simplify.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: simplify.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>2;
my ($x) = symbols(qw(x));
ok( ($x**8 - 1)/($x-1) == $x+$x**2+$x**3+$x**4+$x**5+$x**6+$x**7+1 );
ok( ($x**8 - 1)/($x-1) <=> '$x+$x**2+$x**3+$x**4+$x**5+$x**6+$x**7+1' );
The simplify operator B<+=> is a synonym for the
L<simplify()|/"simplifying_equations:_simplify()"> method, if and only
if, the target on the left hand side initially has a value of undef.
Admittedly this is very strange behavior: it arises due to the shortage
of over-rideable operators in Perl: in particular it arises due to the
shortage of over-rideable unary operators in Perl. Never-the-less: this
operator is useful as can be seen in the L<Synopsis|/"synopsis">, and
the desired pre-condition can always achieved by using B<my>.
=head4 Equation Manipulation Operators: B<Solve> operator: B<E<gt>>
Example t/solve2.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: simplify.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>2;
my ($t) = symbols(qw(t));
my $rabbit = 10 + 5 * $t;
my $fox = 7 * $t * $t;
my ($a, $b) = @{($rabbit eq $fox) > $t};
ok( "$a" eq '1/14*sqrt(305)+5/14' );
ok( "$b" eq '-1/14*sqrt(305)+5/14' );
The solve operator B<E<gt>> is a synonym for the
L<solve()|/"Solving_equations:_solve()"> method.
The priority of B<E<gt>> is higher than that of B<eq>, so the brackets
around the equation to be solved are necessary until Perl provides a
mechanism for adjusting operator priority (cf. Algol 68).
If the equation is in a single variable, the single variable
may be named after the B<E<gt>> operator without the use of [...]:
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
my $rabbit = 10 + 5 * $t;
my $fox = 7 * $t * $t;
my ($a, $b) = @{($rabbit eq $fox) > $t};
print "$a\n";
# 1/14*sqrt(305)+5/14
If there are multiple solutions, (as in the case of polynomials), B<E<gt>>
returns an array of symbolic expressions containing the solutions.
This example was provided by Mike Schilli m@perlmeister.com.
=head2 Functions
Perl operator overloading is very useful for producing compact
representations of algebraic expressions. Unfortunately there are only a
small number of operators that Perl allows to be overloaded. The
following functions are used to provide capabilities not easily expressed
via Perl operator overloading.
These functions may either be called as methods from symbols constructed
by the L</Symbols> construction routine, or they may be exported into
the user's namespace as described in L</EXPORT>.
=head3 Trigonometric and Hyperbolic functions
=head4 Trigonometric functions
Example t/sinCos2.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: methods.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>1;
my ($x, $y) = symbols(qw(x y));
ok( (sin($x)**2 == (1-cos(2*$x))/2) );
The trigonometric functions B<cos>, B<sin>, B<tan>, B<sec>, B<csc>,
B<cot> are available, either as exports to the caller's name space, or
as methods.
=head4 Hyperbolic functions
Example t/tanh.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: methods.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols hyper=>1;
use Test::Simple tests=>1;
my ($x, $y) = symbols(qw(x y));
ok( tanh($x+$y)==(tanh($x)+tanh($y))/(1+tanh($x)*tanh($y)));
The hyperbolic functions B<cosh>, B<sinh>, B<tanh>, B<sech>, B<csch>,
B<coth> are available, either as exports to the caller's name space, or
as methods.
=head3 Complex functions
=head4 Complex functions: B<re> and B<im>
use Math::Algebra::Symbols complex=>1;
Example t/reIm.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: methods.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>2;
my ($x, $i) = symbols(qw(x i));
ok( ($i*$x)->re <=> 0 );
ok( ($i*$x)->im <=> '$x' );
The B<re> and B<im> functions return an expression which represents the
real and imaginary parts of the expression, assuming that symbolic
variables represent real numbers.
=head4 Complex functions: B<dot> and B<cross>
Example t/dotCross.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: methods.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>2;
my $i = symbols(qw(i));
ok( ($i+1)->cross($i-1) <=> 2 );
ok( ($i+1)->dot ($i-1) <=> 0 );
The B<dot> and B<cross> operators are available as functions, either as
exports to the caller's name space, or as methods.
=head4 Complex functions: B<conjugate>, B<modulus> and B<unit>
Example t/conjugate2.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: methods.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>3;
my $i = symbols(qw(i));
ok( ($i+1)->unit <=> '1/(sqrt(2))+i/(sqrt(2))' );
ok( ($i+1)->modulus <=> 'sqrt(2)' );
ok( ($i+1)->conjugate <=> '1-i' );
The B<conjugate>, B<abs> and B<unit> operators are available as
functions: B<conjugate>, B<modulus> and B<unit>, either as exports to
the caller's name space, or as methods. The confusion over the naming of:
the B<abs> operator being the same as the B<modulus> complex function;
arises over the limited set of Perl operator names available for
overloading.
=head2 Methods
=head3 Methods for manipulating Equations
=head4 Simplifying equations: B<simplify()>
Example t/simplify2.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: simplify.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>2;
my ($x) = symbols(qw(x));
my $y = (($x**8 - 1)/($x-1))->simplify(); # Simplify method
my $z += ($x**8 - 1)/($x-1); # Simplify via +=
ok( "$y" eq '$x+$x**2+$x**3+$x**4+$x**5+$x**6+$x**7+1' );
ok( "$z" eq '$x+$x**2+$x**3+$x**4+$x**5+$x**6+$x**7+1' );
B<Simplify()> attempts to simplify an expression. There is no general
simplification algorithm: consequently simplifications are carried out
on ad hoc basis. You may not even agree that the proposed simplification
for a given expressions is indeed any simpler than the original. It is
for these reasons that simplification has to be explicitly requested
rather than being performed automagically.
At the moment, simplifications consist of polynomial division: when the
expression consists, in essence, of one polynomial divided by another,
an attempt is made to perform polynomial division, the result is
returned if there is no remainder.
The B<+=> operator may be used to simplify and assign an expression to a
Perl variable. Perl operator overloading precludes the use of B<=> in this
manner.
=head4 Substituting into equations: B<sub()>
Example t/sub.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: expression substitution for a variable.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>2;
my ($x, $y) = symbols(qw(x y));
my $e = 1+$x+$x**2/2+$x**3/6+$x**4/24+$x**5/120;
ok( $e->sub(x=>$y**2, z=>2) <=> '$y**2+1/2*$y**4+1/6*$y**6+1/24*$y**8+1/120*$y**10+1' );
ok( $e->sub(x=>1) <=> '163/60');
The B<sub()> function example on line B<#1> demonstrates replacing
variables with expressions. The replacement specified for B<z> has no
effect as B<z> is not present in this equation.
Line B<#2> demonstrates the resulting rational fraction that arises when
all the variables have been replaced by constants. This package does not
convert fractions to decimal expressions in case there is a loss of
accuracy, however:
my $e2 = $e->sub(x=>1);
$result = eval "$e2";
or similar will produce approximate results.
At the moment only variables can be replaced by expressions. Mike
Schilli, m@perlmeister.com, has proposed that substitutions for
expressions should also be allowed, as in:
$x/$y => $z
=head4 Solving equations: B<solve()>
Example t/solve1.t
#!perl -w
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: examples: simplify.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests=>3;
my ($x, $v, $t) = symbols(qw(x v t));
ok( ($v eq $x / $t)->solve(qw(x in terms of v t)) == $v*$t );
ok( ($v eq $x / $t)->solve(qw(x in terms of v t)) != $v/$t );
ok( ($v eq $x / $t)->solve(qw(x in terms of v t)) <=> '$v*$t' );
B<solve()> assumes that the equation on the left hand side is equal to
zero, applies various simplifications, then attempts to rearrange the
equation to obtain an equation for the first variable in the parameter
list assuming that the other terms mentioned in the parameter list are
known constants. There may of course be other unknown free variables in
the equation to be solved: the proposed solution is automatically tested
against the original equation to check that the proposed solution
removes these variables, an error is reported via B<die()> if it does not.
Example t/solve.t
#!perl -w -I..
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra: quadratic equation.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::Simple tests => 2;
my ($x) = symbols(qw(x));
my $p = $x**2-5*$x+6; # Quadratic polynomial
my ($a, $b) = @{($p > $x )}; # Solve for x
print "x=$a,$b\n"; # Roots
ok($a == 2);
ok($b == 3);
If there are multiple solutions, (as in the case of polynomials), B<solve()>
returns an array of symbolic expressions containing the solutions.
=head3 Methods for performing Calculus
=head4 Differentiation: B<d()>
Example t/differentiation.t
#!perl -w -I..
#______________________________________________________________________
# Symbolic algebra.
# PhilipRBrenan@yahoo.com, 2004, Perl License.
#______________________________________________________________________
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
use Test::More tests => 5;
$x = symbols(qw(x));
ok( sin($x) == sin($x)->d->d->d->d);
ok( cos($x) == cos($x)->d->d->d->d);
ok( exp($x) == exp($x)->d($x)->d('x')->d->d);
ok( (1/$x)->d == -1/$x**2);
ok( exp($x)->d->d->d->d <=> 'exp($x)' );
B<d()> differentiates the equation on the left hand side by the named
variable.
The variable to be differentiated by may be explicitly specified,
either as a string or as single symbol; or it may be heuristically
guessed as follows:
If the equation to be differentiated refers to only one symbol, then
that symbol is used. If several symbols are present in the equation, but
only one of B<t>, B<x>, B<y>, B<z> is present, then that variable is
used in honor of Newton, Leibnitz, Cauchy.
=head2 Example of Equation Solving: the focii of a hyperbola:
use Math::Algebra::Symbols;
my ($a, $b, $x, $y, $i, $o) = symbols(qw(a b x y i 1));
print
"Hyperbola: Constant difference between distances from focii to locus of y=1/x",
"\n Assume by symmetry the focii are on ",
"\n the line y=x: ", $f1 = $x + $i * $x,
"\n and equidistant from the origin: ", $f2 = -$f1,
"\n Choose a convenient point on y=1/x: ", $a = $o+$i,
"\n and a general point on y=1/x: ", $b = $y+$i/$y,
"\n Difference in distances from focii",
"\n From convenient point: ", $A = abs($a - $f2) - abs($a - $f1),
"\n From general point: ", $B = abs($b - $f2) + abs($b - $f1),
"\n\n Solving for x we get: x=", ($A - $B) > $x,
"\n (should be: sqrt(2))",
"\n Which is indeed constant, as was to be demonstrated\n";
This example demonstrates the power of symbolic processing by finding the
focii of the curve B<y=1/x>, and incidentally, demonstrating that this curve
is a hyperbola.

The default, do not export trigonometric functions.
=item trig=>1
Export trigonometric functions: B<tan>, B<sec>, B<csc>, B<cot> to the

the existing Perl B<sin> and B<cos> operators.
=item B<trigonometric>
Alias of B<trig>

=head1 PACKAGES
The B<Symbols> packages manipulate a sum of products representation of
an algebraic equation. The B<Symbols> package is the user interface to
the functionality supplied by the B<Symbols::Sum> and B<Symbols::Term>
packages.
=head2 Math::Algebra::Symbols::Term
B<Symbols::Term> represents a product term. A product term consists of the
number B<1>, optionally multiplied by:
=over
=item Variables
any number of variables raised to integer powers,
=item Coefficient
An integer coefficient optionally divided by a positive integer divisor,
both represented as BigInts if necessary.
=item Sqrt
The sqrt of of any symbolic expression representable by the B<Symbols>
package, including minus one: represented as B<i>.
=item Reciprocal
The multiplicative inverse of any symbolic expression representable by
the B<Symbols> package: i.e. a B<SymbolsTerm> may be divided by any
symbolic expression representable by the B<Symbols> package.
=item Exp
The number B<e> raised to the power of any symbolic expression
representable by the B<Symbols> package.
=item Log
The logarithm to base B<e> of any symbolic expression representable by
the B<Symbols> package.
=back
Thus B<SymbolsTerm> can represent expressions like:
2/3*$x**2*$y**-3*exp($i*$pi)*sqrt($z**3) / $x
but not:
$x + $y
for which package B<Symbols::Sum> is required.
=head2 Math::Algebra::Symbols::Sum
B<Symbols::Sum> represents a sum of product terms supplied by
B<Symbols::Term> and thus behaves as a polynomial. Operations such as
equation solving and differentiation are applied at this level.
The main benefit of programming B<Symbols::Term> and B<Symbols::Sum> as two
separate but related packages is Object Oriented Polymorphism. I.e. both
packages need to multiply items together: each package has its own B<multiply> method,
with Perl method lookup selecting the appropriate one as required.

Packaging the user functionality alone and separately in package
B<Symbols> allows the internal functions to be conveniently hidden from
user scripts.
