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"

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
