Prove that $1^3 + 2^3 + ... + n^3 = (1+ 2 + ... + n)^2$
HINT: You want that last expression to turn out to be $\big (1+2+\ldots+k+ (k+1)\big)^2$, so you want $ (k+1)^3$ to be equal to the difference $$\big (1+2+\ldots+k+ (k+1)\big)^2- (1+2+\ldots+k)^2\;.$$ …
factorial - Why does 0! = 1? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
The theorem that $\binom {n} {k} = \frac {n!} {k! (n-k)!}$ already assumes $0!$ is defined to be $1$. Otherwise this would be restricted to $0 <k < n$. A reason that we do define $0!$ to be $1$ is so that …
Taylor Series for $\log (x)$ - Mathematics Stack Exchange
Nov 29, 2013 · the Taylor series for ln (x) is relatively simple : 1/x , -1/x^2, 1/x^3, -1/x^4, and so on iirc. log (x) = ln (x)/ln (10) via the change-of-base rule, thus the Taylor series for log (x) is just the Taylor …
