    Can anyone help me out factorizing 2*a^2*b^2+2*b^2*c^2+2*a^2*c^2-a^4-b^4-c^4 ?
    This question is related to Mathematics which I got while deriving a relation.

    If all the signs were the same it would be easy (that second term would go away), but since the signs are opposite for the 2nd-degree terms and the 4th-degree terms, there isn't much you can do.
