I am trying to reduce the trig functions of the following symbolic matrix:

[  sin(1/2*B)*cos(1/2*B)  I*sin(1/2*B)^2 - 1/2*I]
[-I*sin(1/2*B)^2 + 1/2*I  -sin(1/2*B)*cos(1/2*B)]

I expect:

[1/2*sin(B), -1/2*I*cos(B)]
[1/2*I*cos(B), -1/2*sin(B)]

But get: Traceback (click to the left of this block for traceback) ... AttributeError: 'sage.matrix.matrix_symbolic_dense.Matrix_symbolic_dense' object has no attribute 'reduce_trig'

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "_sage_input_170.py", line 10, in <module>
    exec compile(u'open("___code___.py","w").write("# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-\\n" + _support_.preparse_worksheet_cell(base64.b64decode("KFJ4KEIpKkl5KlJ4KC1CKSkucmVkdWNlX3RyaWcoKQ=="),globals())+"\\n"); execfile(os.path.abspath("___code___.py"))
  File "", line 1, in <module>

  File "/tmp/tmpTc7DZX/___code___.py", line 2, in <module>
    exec compile(u'(Rx(B)*Iy*Rx(-B)).reduce_trig()
  File "", line 1, in <module>

  File "element.pyx", line 306, in sage.structure.element.Element.__getattr__ (sage/structure/element.c:2666)
  File "parent.pyx", line 272, in sage.structure.parent.getattr_from_other_class (sage/structure/parent.c:2840)

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your help.

you can use the "code" button (little picture of 0's and 1's) to format code (such as the traceback lines) correctly

You could try using apply_map, as suggested here:

Is there a way to simplify_full and trig_reduce a matrix?

That works, Thank you for the fix.

As it turns out, we already have it, just not with all possible aliases! I didn't even know this.

sage: m = matrix([[sin(x), cos(x)], [sin(x), cos(x)]]); m
[sin(x) cos(x)]
[sin(x) cos(x)]
sage: o = m*m.transpose()
sage: o.simplify_trig()
[1 1]
[1 1]

But the ticket referenced in the comment above should make all of them available.
