+Trigonometric functions are simplified in several ways.  Whenever a
+products of two trigonometric functions can be replaced by a single
+function, the replacement is made; for example,
+@expr{@tfn{tan}(x) @tfn{cos}(x)} is simplified to @expr{@tfn{sin}(x)}. 
+Reciprocals of trigonometric functions are replaced by their reciprocal
+function; for example, @expr{1/@tfn{sec}(x)} is simplified to
+@expr{@tfn{cos}(x)}.  The corresponding simplifications for the
+hyperbolic functions are also handled.
+
+Trigonometric functions of their inverse functions are
+simplified. The expression @expr{@tfn{sin}(@tfn{arcsin}(x))} is
+simplified to @expr{x}, and similarly for @code{cos} and @code{tan}.  
 Trigonometric functions of inverses of different trigonometric
 functions can also be simplified, as in @expr{@tfn{sin}(@tfn{arccos}(x))}
 to @expr{@tfn{sqrt}(1 - x^2)}.
 
+If the argument to @code{sin} is negative-looking, it is simplified to
+@expr{-@tfn{sin}(x)}, and similarly for @code{cos} and @code{tan}.
+Finally, certain special values of the argument are recognized;
+@pxref{Trigonometric and Hyperbolic Functions}.
+
 Hyperbolic functions of their inverses and of negative-looking
 arguments are also handled, as are exponentials of inverse
 hyperbolic functions.
