Hi all,

I'm new to symbolic computation.

I have this coming from previous computation:

a + b -2*c

How can I convert that expression, with Mathematica, into:

(a - c) + (b - c) ?


Another example: Given

a*b + a*c - 2*a*d + b*c - 2*b*d - 2*c*d + 3*d^2

How can I convert that expression, with Mathematica, into:

(a-d)*(b-d) + (a-d)*(c-d) + (b-d)*(c-d) ?



Thanks

Fajar
