I have been using SMP to generate Rach coefficents and the results have
contained large, messy radical expressions of rational numbers. After
some thought on how to reduce these expressions  I asked myself "Is
there a canonical form for such radical expressions?".  I have not seen
a discussion of this problem.  Is there such a form? Are there any
papers on this topic? Are there any algorithms for reducing these
expressions? Any information on this problem would be appreciated?

Thanks Kevin
