The binomial theorem tells us that the expansion of EQN:(x+y)^n is given by: |>> $c_0x^n+c_1x^{n-1}y+c_2x^{n-2}y^2+...+c_ny^n$ <<| where the EQN:c_i are the binomial coefficients. Writing the expansion using the binomial coefficients we get: |>> ${n\choose~0}x^n+{n\choose~1}x^{n-1}y+{n\choose~2}x^{n-2}y^2+{n\choose~3}x^{n-3}y^3+\ldots+{n\choose~n}y^n$ <<| The coefficients are exactly the numbers in the appropriate row of Pascal's Triangle.
