My terrible version of Pascal's triangle lol:
1
1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
1 4 6 4 1
1 5 10 10 5 1

5C3 corresponds to the 3rd co-efficient in the sixth row. It turns out that each term in Pascal's triangle can be expressed in combinatorial form (see your calculator for the combinatorial operation)...observe

0C0
1C0 1C1
2C0 2C1 2C2
3C0 3C1 3C2 3C3
4C0 4C1 4C2 4C3 4C4
5C0 5C1 5C2 5C3 5C4 5C5

Note that nCr = n! / [r!(n - r)!]
Yet another awesome expanation Trebla. Do use some code to write ur answers.. like how do u get indices and subscript? It makes it look so much cleaner.

P.S http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?p=3981903#post3981903 i got a good Q for someone

Use for subscript and for superscript at the beginning and do the same thing but with a "/" before the sub or sup at the end.

Thanks for that man. Ive always wondered lol
um...I cannot be bothered to write that sup thing everytime I do the working out. Writing that thing will further deteriorate my currently abysmal typing speed. :(

Mine is also terrible. By the time i write up my solutions usually 2 people have already answered lol Trebla must copy and paste them or something cos he is quick at it.

learning maths is so amazingly similar to learning chess...

i have gained that little bit of wisdom by learning the nature of the game, which just so happens to reflect the nature of many other things in life

similar to the usefulness of the logical system of mathematics when dealing with "real life" problems, the abstract nature of chess and thought processes involved also applies to many strange and detached real life situations...

I thought you lived in Asquith, but meh, close enough.

When I was going to the UNCLE med interview, the distance from Strathfield to Hornsby was surprisingly long.

Well, you probably thought that from some of my posts where I said my house is actually closer to Asquith Station despite being in Horny.
