This shows in particular that is a natural number for any natural numbers n and k. There are many other combinatorial interpretations of binomial coefficients ( counting problems for which the answer is given by a binomial coefficient expression ), for instance the number of words formed of n bits ( digits 0 or 1 ) whose sum is k is given by, while the number of ways to write where every a < sub > i </ sub > is a nonnegative integer is given by.

In this manner, an irrational number can give an infinite sequence of notes where each note is a digit in the decimal expression of that number.

In this work he depicted a land where there would be freedom of religion-showing a Jew treated fairly and equally in an island of Christians, but it has been debated whether this work had influenced others reforms, such as greater rights for women, the abolition of slavery, elimination of debtors ' prisons, separation of church and state, and freedom of political expression, although there is no hint of these reforms in The New Atlantis itself.

This expression describes the principle of a queue processing technique or servicing conflicting demands by ordering process by first-come, first-served ( FCFS ) behaviour: where the persons leave the queue in the order they arrive, or waiting one's turn at a traffic control signal.

The so-called Martyrologium Hieronymianum is spurious ; it was apparently composed by a western monk toward the end of the 6th or beginning of the 7th century, with reference to an expression of Jerome's in the opening chapter of the Vita Malchi, where he speaks of intending to write a history of the saints and martyrs from the apostolic times.

A formal quotient of polynomials, that is, an algebraic fraction where the numerator and denominator are polynomials, is called a " rational expression " or " rational fraction " and is not, in general, a polynomial.

where n is a natural number, the coefficients are elements of R, and X is a formal symbol, whose powers X < sup > i </ sup > are just placeholders for the corresponding coefficients a < sub > i </ sub >, so that the given formal expression is just a way to encode the sequence, where there is an n such that a < sub > i </ sub > = 0 for all i > n. Two polynomials sharing the same value of n are considered equal if and only if the sequences of their coefficients are equal ; furthermore any polynomial is equal to any polynomial with greater value of n obtained from it by adding terms in front whose coefficient is zero.
