Hi,
Given this:

K = (1+vy) (zx+wx)  + vx (zy+wy);
Expand[K^2]

Is it possible to remove automatically the 3rd and 4th orders from the
result of  'Expand[K^2]' ?

By 3rd order I mean terms like: 2 wy zy vx^2  etc. (all terms with sum
of the degrees of derivatives of u,v,w is = 3)
By 4th order:  wy^2 vx^2  etc.   (sum of degrees of u,v,w = 4)


Thanks
