Binomial (polynomial)
In algebra, a binomial is a polynomial that is the sum of two terms, each of which is a monomial. It is the simplest kind of sparse polynomial after the monomials.
Definition
A binomial is a polynomial which is the sum of two monomials. A binom ...

Binomial coefficient
In mathematics, the binomial coefficients are the positive integers that occur as coefficients in the binomial theorem. Commonly, a binomial coefficient is indexed by a pair of integers and is written \tbinom. It is the coefficient of the t ...

Binomial process A binomial process is a special point process in probability theory.
Definition
Let P be a probability distribution and n be a fixed natural number. Let X_1, X_2, \dots, X_n be i.i.d. random variables with distribution P , so X_i \sim P ...
