hello to all
i know that this dose not have much to do with povray, as it is a maths
question. but i have posed help up on many math message boards and i get on
reply.

basically i would like the following formulas simplified. that is if they
can be simplified.
 can some one please simplify the following equations for me.

m = ( cos (c*(2*pi)/360) * ( cos (b*(2*pi)/360) * x + sin
(b*(2*pi)/360) * ( cos (a*(2*pi)/360) * z + sin (a*(2*pi)/360)*y)) -
sin (c*(2*pi)/360) * (( cos (a*(2*pi)/360) * y - sin
(a*(2*pi)/360)*z)))

n = ( cos (c*(2*pi)/360) * (( cos (a*(2*pi)/360) * y - sin
(a*(2*pi)/360)*z)) + sin (c*(2*pi)/360) * ( cos (b*(2*pi)/360)*(x) +
sin (b*(2*pi)/360) * ( cos (a*(2*pi)/360) * z + sin
(a*(2*pi)/360)*y)))

o = ( cos (b*(2*pi)/360) * ( cos (a*(2*pi)/360) * z + sin
(a*(2*pi)/360)*y) - sin (b*(2*pi)/360)*(x))

please don't post up any bullshit like why do you want to simplify these
formulas it will not make povray any faster. i would just the like the
ensure. thanks a lot for your help it is much appreciated.
