What is this?
Why is the following function such a problem to differentiate?
Here is a worksheet:

And, why isn't Maple able to replace D(sin(theta)) with cos(theta)? See the worksheet.
I think the problem is that a muliplication sign is missing before the last factor of the denominator of A .
Zsolt,
Thank you. That's it. Thanks again.
Can anybody help me with extrema here?

Try working with 1/A.
I just tried that and extrema returned {0}.
You can use the CriticalPoints and the Roots commands of the Student package to solve your problem.
Try this:
restart; with(plots):with(Student[Calculus1]): a := 2; b := 1; A := (a*b)^2/(8*cos(theta)*sin(theta)*(a*sin(theta)+b*cos(theta))^2); Agraph:=plot(A,theta=-2..5,view=[-2..5,-15..15],numpoints=3000,color=red): Ad:=diff(A,theta); Adgraph:=plot(Ad,theta=-5..10,view=[-2..5,-15..15],numpoints=3000,color=blue): cpoints:=CriticalPoints( A,theta=-2..5 ); rpoints:=Roots( Ad,theta=-2..5,numeric); Adisconts:=pointplot(zip((x,y)->[x,y],cpoints, [],0),color=blue,symbol=circle): Adzeros:=pointplot(zip((x,y)->[x,y],rpoints, [],0),color=green,symbol=circle): display(Agraph,Adgraph,Adisconts,Adzeros);
That worked. Thank you.
I like the way you did the plotting. I'll try to add that to my inventory.
