I have a function, f(x), that when Taylor expanded around x=1 in maxima
gives:
2
M_tot N (M_tot N + 2 M_tot N) (x - 1)
(%o7)/T/ ------- + ------------------------------
2 12
2 2
(M_tot N + 2 M_tot N) (x - 1)
- -------------------------------
+ . . .
24
Is there a flag that will simplify the coefficients of (x-1) separately.
What I want is:
M_tot N
( N+2)
--------------
12 or
24
for the coefficients of the x-1 and (x-1)^2 terms.
I know how to do this manually using part() and factor(), but I'd like
to keep the Taylor form intact.
