Coefficient

Coefficient
gives the coefficient of form in the polynomial expr.
Coefficient
gives the coefficient of in expr.
  • Coefficient picks only terms that contain the particular form specified. is not considered part of .
  • form can be a product of powers.
  • Coefficient picks out terms that are not proportional to form.
  • Coefficient works whether or not expr is explicitly given in expanded form.
