Collect
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.
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.
