This module is an extension to the Math::Symbolic module. A basic familiarity with that module is required. Math::Symbolic offers some builtin simplification routines. These, however, are not capable of complex simplifications. This extension offers facilities to override the default simplification routines through means of subclassing this module. A subclass of this module is required to define a simplify object method that implements a simplification of Math::Symbolic trees. There are two class methods to inherit: register and unregister. Calling the register method on your subclass registers your class as providing the simplify method that is invoked whenever simplify() is called on a Math::Symbolic::Operator object. Calling unregister on your subclass restores whichever simplification routines where in place before. WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Math-Symbolic-Custom-Simplification/
