I want to simplify a long expression using the Collect command. I
notice that it allows you to apply a command to each of the coefficients,
e.g.
Collect[expr,{Cos[x],Sin[x]},Simplify]
But Simplify here applies to both coefficients. What if I want to
do different things with each coefficient, e.g.
Collect[expr,{Cos[x],Sin[x]},{Collect coefficient of Cos[x] in terms
of x^2,Simplify Coefficients of Sin[x]]}]
Can this be done within the Collect command? I tried it literally
as I wrote above but that didnt work.
