[OS X TeX] Binomial Expansion

[Claus Gerhardt]

Happy Birthday Alain!

I had a look at the polynom.sty manual. It is only 6 pages and well  
written. You should give it a try.

If \Expand{a}{b}{some degree} should represent polynomial division, then

\polylongdiv[stage=3] {(X-1)(X-1)(X^2+1)^4} {(X-1)(X+1)(X+1)}

might be what you want. Anyway look in manual.
