A Maple question

[sanctus]

IS there a way in Maple (I have got the 10th edition) to combine terms in the way I want, ie if I have something like:

 

[math]\frac{dF}{dt}\cdot H^2+\frac{dF}{dt}\cdot 3w+K\cdot w^{-1}+ \frac{dF}{dt}\cdot 3 +K [/math]

 

and I want to see the terms that multilpy dF/dt and K, that means writing it in the forem:

 

[math]\frac{dF}{dt}\cdot (H^2+3w+3)+K\cdot(w^{-1}+1)[/math]

Thanks a lot if anyone can tell me how!!!Or at least tell me that's impossible so at least I dont get upset anymore...

Searching on "MAPLE", I found http://www.indiana.edu/~statmath/math/maple. According to it, MAPLE is only available to people "affiliated with Indiana University", which I'm not.

 

Is there a way around this restriction? I'm curious about it?

This must be their distribution. Maple is simply a competitor to mathematica, for information, try here http://www.maplesoft.com/

Craig, i got from my university...I don't know why but altough most people know mathematica here in Switzerland most use Maple, I guess a part some coding differences the programs to the same.So if you know an answer to my question in mathematica it would still be very appreciated.

I figured it out meanwhile, you can write collect(expr, listofterms), maybe ita was obvious for a native english language person, but I thought you would say factor out...

You can also right click an expression to bring up a menu of things you can do with it. Sorry I didn't answer, I somehow missed the original question.

Thanks, anyway that opened new doors to me, for example i put by hand all to the left side of the equality, while i just could have clicked rearrange left...

But for the option "manipulate" the stack limit was reached and the kernel shut down...I guess thaat is the price for a too big expression...
