RE: Absolute value: sometimes CAS is very clever, sometimes not!
For what it's worth, \(\big\lvert a+b \big\rvert-a-b \mid a\ge 0 \ \mathrm{and}\ b\ge 0\) simplifies to \(0\) on TI Nspire CAS.

UPDATE:

Not surprisingly, the TI-89 Titanium behaves the same:

Has anyone tried it on older HP (pre-Prime) CAS calculators yet?
