Summary

Description

Binomial coefficients C (n, k) extended for negative and fractional n, illustrated with expansion of a simple binomial by CMG Lee. It can be observed that Pascal's triangle is rotated and alternate terms are negated. The case n = −1 gives Grandi's series.

Shaded in blue, n = 0.5 gives : substituting and integrating from 0 to ½ gives half the area of a semicircle minus a circular segment, , yielding Newton's breakthrough method of approximating .
