(* Title: Binomial.thy
Authors: Lawrence C. Paulson, Jeremy Avigad, Tobias Nipkow
Defines the "choose" function, and establishes basic properties.
The original theory "Binomial" was by Lawrence C. Paulson, based on
the work of Andy Gordon and Florian Kammueller. The approach here,
which derives the definition of binomial coefficients in terms of the
factorial function, is due to Jeremy Avigad. The binomial theorem was
formalized by Tobias Nipkow.
