The “with” (|) symbol serves as a binary
operator. The operand to the left of | is an
expression. The operand to the right of |
specifies one or more relations that are
intended to affect the simplification of the
expression. Multiple relations after | must be
joined by a logical “and”.
The “with” operator provides three basic
types of functionality: substitutions, interval
constraints, and exclusions.
x+1| x=3 ¸4
x+y| x=sin(y) ¸sin(y) + y
x+y| sin(y)=x ¸x + y
Substitutions are in the form of an equality,
such as x=3 or y=sin(x). To be most effective,
the left side should be a simple variable.
expression | variable = value will substitute
value for every occurrence of variable in
expression.

Interval constraints take the form of one or
more inequalities joined by logical “and”
operators. Interval constraints also permit
simplification that otherwise might be invalid
or not computable.

Exclusions use the “not equals” (/= or ƒ)
relational operator to exclude a specific
value from consideration. They are used
primarily to exclude an exact solution when
using cSolve(), cZeros(), fMax(), fMin(), solve(),
zeros(), etc.
