I have started using the Maxima system available at http://maxima.sourceforge.net/.
In all expressions I would like Maxima to replace %e ^ ( 2 * %i * %pi
* m ) by 1 whenever m is an integer. I have tried both ASSUME and LET
with no success. Can someone explain how to effect this
simplification in Maxima?
