Mathematica gave me an output of this form where expr in each parentheses is long winded expression...... A + p^2 (expr 2) + p (expr 1) + p^3 (expr 3)... I got this output by using Collect[ expr,p].... but I want the output in this form for the obvious reason.... A + p (expr 1 ) + p^2 (expr 2) + p^3 (expr 3)... How do I get that? I notice if I type in p^2 (a+b) + p (b+c) + p^3 (a+b+c) the output form is, in fact, (b+c) p + b(a+b) p^2 + (a+b+c) p^3....... why the difference? thanks....jerry blimbaum
