A simpler form is to use Coefficient[expr, form], where form can be any product of powers, as explained in the help or manual. For example : In[1]:= Coefficient[Expand[(1+x+y)^2*(2+y)*(5+z)^4], x*y*z^3] Out[1]:= 120 Roberto Colistete Junior <roberto at cce.ufes.br> Departamento de Fisica Universidade Federal do Espirito Santo Brasil Harald Berndt wrote: > > Samuel Bengmark wrote: > > > > I wonder if anyone out there knows how to get mathematica > > to extract a coefficient of a monomial in a multivariate to > > series or polynomial.
