NAME

       Math::Symbolic::Custom::DefaultMods - Default Math::Symbolic transformations

SYNOPSIS

	 use Math::Symbolic;

DESCRIPTION

       This is a class of default transformations for Math::Symbolic trees. Likewise, Math::Symbolic::Custom::DefaultTests defines default tree
       testing routines.  For details on how the custom method delegation model works, please have a look at the Math::Symbolic::Custom and
       Math::Symbolic::Custom::Base classes.

   EXPORT
       Please see the docs for Math::Symbolic::Custom::Base for details, but you should not try to use the standard Exporter semantics with this
       class.

SUBROUTINES

   apply_derivatives()
       Never modifies the tree in-place, but returns a modified copy of the original tree instead.

       Applied to variables and constants, this method just clones.

       Applied to operators and if the operator is a derivative, this applies the derivative to the derivative's first operand.

       Regardless what kind of operator this is called on, apply_derivatives will be applied recursively on its operands.

       If the first parameter to this function is an integer, at maximum that number of derivatives are applied (from top down the tree if
       possible).

   apply_constant_fold()
       Does not modify the tree in-place by default, but returns a modified copy of the original tree instead. If the first argument is true, the
       tree will not be cloned. If it is false or not existant, the tree will be cloned.

       Applied to variables and constants, this method just clones.

       Applied to operators, all tree segments that contain constants and operators only will be replaced with Constant objects.

   mod_add_constant
       Given a constant (object or number) as argument, this method tries hard to fold it into an existing constant of the object this is called
       on is already a sum or a difference.

       Basically, this is the same as "$tree + $constant" but does some simplification.

   mod_multiply_constant
       Given a constant (object or number) as argument, this method tries hard to fold it into an existing constant of the object this is called
       on is already a product or a division.

       Basically, this is the same as "$tree * $constant" but does some simplification.
