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]  ; Collect[(1+x+y)^3, x]  . • Collect[expr, x, Simplify] can be used to simplify each coefficient separately. • New in Version 1; modified in 3.
