C n x , the binomial coefficients are C01 , C , C 2 ,..., C n. A number of series may be formed with these coefficients figuring in the terms of a series. Some standard series of the binomial coefficients are as follows: nnn n n (a) By putting x = 1, we get C012+ C + C ++ ......

C As the name suggests such series are obtained by multiplying two binomial expansion, one involving the first factors as coefficient and the other involving the second factors as coefficient. They can be calculated by equating coefficients of a suitable power on both sides.
