Maple 2019.2.
These two expressions are mathematically equivalent:
But simplify(expr1-expr2) does not give zero where simplify(convert(expr1,trig)-expr2) does.
Is this normal behavior or can be expected sometimes? As a user I would have expected Maple internally to figure all of this itself. Compare to Mathematica:
Is there a different command in Maple that will show mathematical equivalence of two expressions to try other than simplify?
Thanks

expr1:=(-exp(n*Pi*(2*b - y)/a) + exp(n*Pi*y/a))/((exp(2*n*Pi*b/a) - 1)):
expr2:= sinh(n*Pi/a*y)/tanh(n*Pi/a*b)-cosh(n*Pi/a*y):
simplify(expr1-expr2);
