If you can't understand it then maybe you should just wait until you do it in class.

Lol yer, thats true i was just curious cause it looked an easy topic.

Oh hey! I started Binomial chapter yesterday and yead, it's sort of confusing a bit. I'm not sure about what you mean when asking the basic idea 'cuz perhaps I don't even know what is its basic idea. I guess it's how to use the nCk to work out the coefficients of a polynomials plus how they got the Pascal triangle. We've used it in Polynomials for 4u and it helps working well. So, Binomial theorem is to support the Polynomials skill!?

Binomial Theorem is the last topic our Ext 1'ers learn (and coincidentally, the first one us Ext 2'ers did). It is anything but easy. :\
