I have a sum of a series of fractions (symbolic) of about 50 terms.
How can I have Mathematica to sum up those with the same denominator?
By inspection, there are about 5 different denominators. I have wrote
a simple rule to compare the denominator term by term, but it's rather
slow. Moreover, sometimes the denominators differ only with a +/-
sign, a numerical factor (say, 1/2), or a complex i.
In mathematical terms, I have a series in the following form (the
number of terms can vary):
N1/D1 + N2/D2 + ... + N50/D50
These Di's form 5 different groups. Within each group, there are
proportional to each other. How could I sum up this series such that
those terms with Di in the same group is summed?
Thanks for any input.
