Using Substitutions vs. Defining a Variable
However, substitution is preferable for most cases because the variable is defined only
for the current calculation and does not accidentally affect later calculations.
Because sin
L1
(sin(q)) = q is not always valid, the
expression is not simplified.
With a constraint, the expression can be simplified.
In many cases, you can achieve the same
effect as a substitution by defining the
variable.
Substituting x=1 does not affect the next
calculation.
