- For a game I play (yes, it's only a game, I know, why am I troubling
- all of you with it? Well, somebody out there might know...) it becomes
- helpful if not necessary to know a good expansion formula for (a+b+c)^N.
- Now I'm aware that the expansion 'formula' for (a+b)^N is just Pascal's Triangle,
- but I'm wondering if any of you wizards out there know of something similar
- for (a+b+c)^N without my having to go through the whole sadistic algebraic
- death of actually deriving each and every one for N=1 to 10?
- Thanks in advance, that is if anyone actually knows of one...
