Errors In Maple

Hi everyone! I have a really important question about maple: while using maple to solve my problem (PDE, a few threads before), I did pay attention to the fact the maple is giving different values for 2 equal expressions! for example: assume we want to express sin(d) as a function (only) of tan(d). It's easy to see that 1/tan^2(d) is equal to [1/sin^2(d)]-1. therefore: 1/sin^2(d)=[tan^2(d)+1]/tan^2(d) from this we have immediately: sin(d)=tan(d)/sqrt(tan^2(d)+1) now, when I put sin(d) in my solution, I didn't get the same answer as I got with the expression to sin(d) above!!! Why is this happenning? and what can I do to get ovet it? (I really need to use the expression above instead of sin(d)) Thanks RedFox (:
