Maxima Function

Calling Sequence

nterms (expr)

Description

Returns the number of terms that expr would have if it were fully expanded out and no cancellations or combination of terms occurred. Note that expressions like sin (expr), sqrt (expr), exp (expr), etc. count as just one term regardless of how many terms expr has (if it is a sum).
