Symmetry of the binomium

The Newton's binomial theorem has a perfect symmetry, as (a + b)n = (b + a)n.

 


Explanation

The sum of the binomial theorem is

You can also write this as

That is allowed, because a + b ≡ b + a. This is seen in the binomial coefficients. Written in detail, you get

The series has a perfect symmetry, and you can read it from left to right and from right to left.
