Apply the distributive law:

Distribute f over Plus:

Distribute f over g:

By default, distribute over Plus:

Distribute only a product of sums:

Distributive laws for logical operators:

Apply the distributive law to arbitrary operators:

Distribute f over g to give fp and gp:

Expand symbolic matrix and vector expressions:

Apply the distributive law with any operator:

Find the list of all possible combinations of elements:

Generate a powerset:

Find intermediate terms from a direct application of the distributive law:

For pure products, Distribute gives the same results as Expand:

PowerExpand corresponds to distribution over Times:

Outer forms the same combinations of all elements, but in a nested structure:

This use of Distribute does not give the expected result:

The reason is that the argument is evaluated first and the product vanishes:

Prevent evaluation of the argument before Distribute sees it:

Distribute does not necessarily give a mathematically correct result:

Restrict the application to occurrences of Times to avoid the transformation:

Find all possible sums of sublists of a list:
