The Binomial Theorem gives a simple way of expanding expressions of the form (a + b)n: . We need only to calculate the binomial coefficients Cnk
with k = 0, 1,
n. Cn0
= 1 and Cnn = 1,
Cn1 = n and Cnn1 = n, etc. Moreover, the binomial coefficients satisfy the following recursion relationships: . It means that a binomial coefficient with subscript n
+ 1 and superscript 0 < k
< n is the sum of the corresponding
coefficients whose subscripts have preceding value n .
Comment 1. All boundary
coefficients are equal to unity. |
