Binomial Theorem
The theorem that, for Integral Positive 
,
the so-called Binomial Series, where
are Binomial Coefficients. Thetheorem was known for the case 
by Euclid 
around 300 BC, 
and stated in its modern form byPascal in 1665. Newton (1676) showed that a similar formula (with Infinite upper limit) holdsfor Negative Integral ,
the so-called Negative Binomial Series, which converges for
