  • Does this need simplification?

    [4(1+sin(2t))]cos{^3}(t) +

    [-4cos(2t)]sin{^3}(t) +

    [2T{^(-2)}(1

    +sin(2t))sin(2t)]cos{^2}(t) +

    [-2(1+sin(2t))]cos(t) +

    [2cos(2t)]sin(t) +

    [2T{^(-2)}(1

    +sin(2t))cos(2t)]cos(t)sin(t) +

    [-4T{^2}]cos{^2}(t)sin{^2}(t) +

    [T{^(-2)}(1+cos{^2}(2t))] = 0

    I don't need numerical solutions; I've got those already.

    Can anyone suggest a more concise form in terms of only

    circular functions of t, without the 2t terms ?

  • Toaster Optics------?

    Anybody have a graph of near-infrared dispersion or absorption at the surface of commercial bread as a function of the time it has been toasting in the toaster?

    The toaster I'm using at the moment makes it look like it's burning the dickens out of the bread, but when the bread pops up, it's hardly browned on the surface at all.

    I just wondered if the temperature of the carbohydrates closest to the heating elements could cause these molecules to have an optical resonance in the visible region that drops the intensity of the light from the elements reflected from the bread.

    Any ideas?
