In the attached, I had to find the required coefficient. Now this has a relatively straight forward set of equation (which apparently form a closed group), so it was easy enough tee see what to do. In a more complicated situation that may be very difficult to see. I was a wondering is there is a better approach to use here?

Recently I have wanted to add some questions/answers to "Favourites" . I added some posts a few years ago. Now I can't figure out how do do it. A good example is this evenings question on setting up a library. How to install a library on Maple? - MaplePrimes

The answer has useful links. And this is a particular topic I tend to have difficulty with.

This is a just a general type question. Often reading questions posted to do with modules and packages I see "foo" used. I have put together some simple packages for routines I find useful. I am week in general programming knowledge. I would like to know is "foo" something special or a generic name used for testing? Is is an acronym? ...

I have a procedure where M:=[m2,m3,m4...] and I  assign the m's values from list L:=[0.1,2....]
The procedure will only run once. Rerunning will not reassign the m's.

What is the correct way to do this?

I have a polynomial in c & d.  I wish to extract the coefficients of lets say 3rd order i.e c^3+c^2d+c d^2+d^3. 

The polynomials can be of 2,3,4.. variables.  

coeffs(14*c^4 + 84*c^3*d + 180*c^2*d^2 + 165*c*d^3 + 55*d^4 + 5*c^3 + 21*c^2*d + 28*c*d^2 + 12*d^3 + 2*c^2 + 5*c*d + 3*d^2 + c + d + 1, [c, d], 'l');
     14, 84, 180, 165, 55, 5, 21, 28, 12, 2, 5, 3, 1, 1, 1
