Collect

Usage

Collect[expr, x] collects together terms involving the same powers of objects matching x.
Collect[expr, { ,  , ... }] collects together terms that involve the same powers of objects matching  ,  , ... .
Collect[expr, var, h] applies h to the expression that forms the coefficient of each term obtained.


Notes

Collect[expr, x] effectively writes expr as a polynomial in x or a fractional power of x.
• Examples: Collect[x + n x + m, x]LongRightArrow ; Collect[(1+x+y)^3, x]LongRightArrow .
Collect[expr, x, Simplify] can be used to simplify each coefficient separately.
• New in Version 1; modified in 3.
