I have two questions. The solutions may be very simple, but since I am a Mathematica novice, need some guidance. 1) I have an expression: y = 0.5*u*exp(-2 I d1 - d2 - I d4 - phi) - 0.5*k2*k3*u*exp(-I d2 - I d4 - phi) - 0.5*k2*k4*u*exp(-I d2 - Id 3 - I phi) ; What command should I use to get just the amplitude of each term, i.e excluding the exponential - exp(). In this case, the results needs to be {0.5*u, 0.5*k2*k3*u, 0.5*k2*k4*u) 2) The second question is along similar lines. I have an expression and I need to find out the terms that have k2^2 in the amplitude y = 0.5*u*exp(-2 I d1 - d2 - I d4 - phi) - 0.5*k2^2*k3*u*exp(-I d2 - I d4 - phi) - 0.5*k2*k4*u*exp(-I d2 - Id 3 - I phi) - 0.5*k2^2*k5*v*exp(-I d2 - Id 3 - I phi) ; In this case, the answer is the second and last term: 0.5*k2^2*k3*u*exp(-I d2 - I d4 - phi) - 0.5*k2^2*k5*v*exp(-I d2 - Id 3 - I phi)
