Is there a command relevant to finding the constant coefficient of any term in a multivariate polynomial in Maple?
For example.
If I have p=2*x*y^2+3*x^2*y. Then I want to specify a monomial term(x*y^2) and be able to extract the coefficient(2). So if I want to find the coefficient of x^2*y^2 it should return 0 and if I want to find the coefficient of x*y it should also return 0 and not 2*y+3*x.
This seems like something "natural" that should be programmed into a "good" software like Maple.
