Binomial coefficient 二项式系数
(重定向自Generalized binomial coefficient)
In mathematics, binomial coefficients are a family of positive integers that occur as coefficients in the binomial theorem. They are indexed by two nonnegative integers; the binomial coefficient indexed by n and k is usually written
. It is the coefficient of the x term in the polynomial expansion of the binomial power (1 + x). Under suitable circumstances the value of the coefficient is given by the expression
. Arranging binomial coefficients into rows for successive values of n, and in which k ranges from 0 to n, gives a triangular array called Pascal's triangle.
