=== Ordinary generating functions === For a fixed {{mvar|n}}, the [[ordinary generating function]] of the sequence <math>\tbinom n0,\tbinom n1,\tbinom n2,\ldots</math> is : <math>\sum_{k=0}^\infty {n\choose k} x^k = (1+x)^n.</math> For a fixed {{mvar|k}}, the ordinary generating function of the sequence <math>\tbinom 0k,\tbinom 1k, \tbinom 2k,\ldots,</math> is : <math>\sum_{n=0}^\infty {n\choose k} y^n = \frac{y^k}{(1-y)^{k+1}}.</math> The [[bivariate generating function]] of the binomial coefficients is : <math>\sum_{n=0}^\infty \sum_{k=0}^n {n\choose k} x^k y^n = \frac{1}{1-y-xy}.</math> A symmetric bivariate generating function of the binomial coefficients is : <math>\sum_{n=0}^\infty \sum_{k=0}^\infty {n+k\choose k} x^k y^n = \frac{1}{1-x-y}.</math> which is the same as the previous generating function after the substitution <math>x\to xy</math>.
