Can this be simplified, or is it already in simplest form?
Edit: By simplest form, I mean the form which would require the least computations to calculate.

Simplest form is a relative term... for me it is the simplest it can be.

What is special about this expression? Where is it from? Is it from some step of certain calculation?
