Talk:Binomial Theorem/General Binomial Theorem

Clarification
This proof is missing many intermediate steps, making it hard for students like myself to read. Shifting indices by one and then dropping the first term of a series really should be done more explicitly, but there are other missing links too. Also, I have a strong feeling that the algebraic manipulations are less efficient (and therefore more confusing) than they need to be, but I'm not certain of this as yet. Finally, does this theorem really only hold for real x? Dfeuer (talk) 20:31, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
