reexpresses

Reexpresses is the third-person singular form of the verb reexpress, meaning to express something again or to present it in a different form. The term is widely used to indicate a restatement, reformulation, or reconfiguration of an idea, statement, or object while preserving its underlying meaning.

In mathematics and related disciplines, reexpressing a function, equation, or expression involves rewriting it using a different form, basis, or set of variables. This can reveal properties, simplify calculations, or facilitate problem-solving. Examples include applying identities to rewrite trigonometric expressions, changing variables to simplify integrals, or expressing a vector in a different basis.

In linguistics and communication, reexpressing typically refers to paraphrasing or restating a message in alternative wording or style. The goal is to convey the same meaning more clearly, concisely, or in a different tone, while maintaining the original intent.

In computer science, reexpression often appears in the context of transforming models or data representations. This may involve converting a program or formula to an alternative canonical form, changing coordinate systems, or expressing a function in terms of a different set of basis functions for analysis or computation.
