[table of contents][page overview]

We have the following identities for binomial coefficients:

$\bullet$ $\displaystyle 2^n$ $\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^n \binom{n}{k}$ ,

$\bullet$ $\displaystyle 0$ $\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^n \binom{n}{k} (-1)^k\,,\quad n \geq 1$ ,

$\bullet$ $\displaystyle \binom{n}{k}$ $\displaystyle \sum\limits_{i=0}^k \binom{n-k-1+i}{i}\,,\quad k < n$ ,

$\bullet$ $\displaystyle \binom{n}{k}$ $\displaystyle \sum\limits_{i=0}^{n-k} \binom{k-1+i}{i}\,,\quad k > 0$ .
