I have a calculation (analytic) involving sums (finite) that ends up with an expression structured like a sum over an expression with several terms, like

sum(Y(t)*cos(omega*t) + a*sin(omega*t)+b*cos(omega*t),t);

(The real case is more involved but this simple example shows the issue.)

What I want is to distribute the sum over each term separately, observing that a & b are numbers & therefore can be pulled out of the sum. Note that the expression...
