Hi,

  I have an expression as p in the following. I would like to extract the coeffient with x^n*y^m and x^(n+2)*y^(m+2), however, coeff comand does not work...

 

***

p:=3*x^n*y^m+4*x^(n+2)*y^(m+2)+k*x^(n+2)*y^(m+2);
coeff(p,x,n);

***  

gives me

***

n m (n + 2) (m + 2) (n + 2) (m + 2)
3 x y + 4 x y + k x y
/ n m (n + 2) (m + 2) (n + 2) (m + 2) \
coeff\3 x y + 4 x y + k x y , x, n/

***

 

What is the correct command to get the coefficients? Thank you very much
