Fibonacci / Binomial coefficient identity
by John from John D. Cook on (#3GHVA)
Here's an identity relating Fibonacci numbers and binomial coefficients.
You can think of it as a finite sum or an infinite sum: binomial coefficients are zero when the numerator is an integer and the denominator is a larger integer. See the general definition of binomial coefficients.
