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.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

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

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.

Re: Binomial Theorem
Looks really spiffy!!!
