With the help of sympy.combsimp() method, we can simplify combinatorial expressions.
Syntax: combsimp(expression)
Parameter:
expression – It is combinatorial expression which needs to be simplified.Returns: Returns a simplified mathematical expression corresponding to the input.
Example #1:
# import sympy from sympy import * n = symbols( 'n' , integer = True ) expr = factorial(n) / factorial(n - 3 ) print ( "Expression = {}" . format (expr)) # Use sympy.combsimp() method simple_expr = combsimp(expr) print ( "Simplified Expression : {}" . format (simple_expr)) |
Output:
Expression = factorial(n)/factorial(n - 3) Simplified Expression : n*(n - 2)*(n - 1)
Example #2:
# import sympy from sympy import * n, k = symbols( 'n k' , integer = True ) expr = binomial(n + 1 , k + 1 ) / binomial(n, k) print ( "Expression = {}" . format (expr)) # Use sympy.combsimp() method simple_expr = combsimp(expr) print ( "Simplified Expression : {}" . format (simple_expr)) |
Output:
Expression = binomial(n+1, k+1)/binomial(n, k) Simplified Expression : (n + 1)/(k + 1)
