Simplification

Boilerplate to make the doctester work.

sys.path.insert(1, os.path.join(os.path.pardir, "ipython_doctester"))

For each exercise, fill in the function according to its docstring. Execute the cell to see if you did it right.

Polynomial/Rational Function Simplification

In each exercise, apply specific simplification functions to get the desired result.
