Binomial Theorem

Made a page about the Binomial Theorem

Critiques welcome.

Re: Binomial Theorem

Hi MathsisFun;

Well done, would like to see you mention Sir Isaac Newton.


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: Binomial Theorem

Ah yes,the general version. What would you suggest writing? It may need a whole page on its own.

Re: Binomial Theorem

Hi MathsisFun;

Just a brief paragraph mentioning that Newton is credited with the discovery should do it.

Re: Binomial Theorem

That is a cool trick.

It also applies to the C=6 term: C = 1*6/(0+1) = 6

So there must be a general rule for generating any row of Pascal's Triangle ...

Re: Binomial Theorem

I have reworked the page, including more examples at the end.

Would appreciate your thoughts, guys: Binomial Theorem

Hi MathsisFun;

Nice derivation of the Taylor series for e at the bottom. Thanks for the page.
