Expression Swell

 

EXPRESSION SWELL
is a common phenomenon of exact computations in which the size of numbers and expressions involved in a calculation grows dramatically as the calculation progresses.
INTERMEDIATE EXPRESSION SWELL
is an important special case of expression swell in which, during the middle stages of a calculation, intermediate expressions can expand substantially, but the final results of the calculation are comparatively simple.
