What is binomial theorem?
The binomial theorem, also known as Newton's binomial theorem, was put forward by isaac newton from 1664 to 1665. Details are as follows:

1, this theorem describes a very special mathematical phenomenon, that is, the integer power of the sum of two numbers can be expanded into an identity of similar terms of these two numbers. This theorem is widely used in mathematics, including combinatorial mathematics, probability theory, statistics and other fields.

2. Specifically, the binomial theorem can be expressed by a formula: (a+b)n=C(n, 0)a(n power) +C(n, 1 power) a(n- 1 power) b( 1 power).

3. The coefficient of binomial theorem can be expressed by a special triangle, which is called Pascal triangle, also called Jia Xian triangle. These coefficients have many interesting properties and applications, for example, they can be used to calculate the combination number, probability and so on.

Application Scenarios of Binomial Theorem

1, combinatorial mathematics: binomial theorem can be used to calculate the number of combinations, that is, the number of combinations of k elements selected from n different elements. Using the coefficients of binomial theorem, the value of combination number can be calculated quickly.

2. Probability theory: In probability theory, binomial theorem can be used to calculate the probability of events. For example, in n independent repeated experiments, the probability that event A happens is p, so the probability that event A happens exactly k times is C(n, k) p k (1-p) (n-k).

3. Statistics: In statistics, binomial theorem can be used to calculate the distribution of sample statistics (such as sample mean and sample variance). For example, in binomial distribution, sample statistics obey binomial distribution.

4. Mathematical analysis: In mathematical analysis, binomial theorem can be used to find the expansion of power series. Using the coefficients of binomial theorem, we can quickly find the expansion of power series. Numerical analysis: In numerical analysis, binomial theorem can be used to solve the roots of nonlinear equations. By transforming the nonlinear equation into binomial equation, the roots of the equation can be solved quickly.

5. Physics: In physics, binomial theorem can be used to calculate wave function and probability density function in quantum mechanics. Engineering: In engineering, binomial theorem can be used to calculate the current and voltage in the circuit. Binomial theorem is widely used in mathematics, physics, engineering and other fields.
