Hello ! An easy way is to go in the Cell menu, select Default Output Format Type TraditionalForm Then, all the Outputs will have a "nice look" Florian Jaccard -----Message d'origine----- De : cdj [mailto:a_cjones at hotmail.com] Envoyé : mar., 8. avril 2003 09:05 À : mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Objet : [mg40503] How do you get polynomials listed in order of decreasing exponent? Hi, I'm sure this question gets a lot of play, but I couldn't find the answer.... sorry. Just to be clear: good: x^3 + 5x^2 - 4x - 20 bad: -20 - 4x + 5x^2 + x^3 How do I get Mathematica to give me the good version whenever it gives me a polynomial? Thanks a bunch, cdj
