Cast of binomial coefficients #

This file allows calculating the binomial coefficient a.choose b as an element of a division ring of characteristic 0.

theorem Nat.cast_choose (K : Type u_1) [DivisionRing K] [CharZero K] {a : } {b : } (h : a b) :
(Nat.choose b a) = (Nat.factorial b) / ((Nat.factorial a) * (Nat.factorial (b - a)))
theorem Nat.cast_add_choose (K : Type u_1) [DivisionRing K] [CharZero K] {a : } {b : } :
(Nat.choose (a + b) a) = (Nat.factorial (a + b)) / ((Nat.factorial a) * (Nat.factorial b))
theorem Nat.cast_choose_eq_ascPochhammer_div (K : Type u_1) [DivisionRing K] [CharZero K] (a : ) (b : ) :
(Nat.choose a b) = Polynomial.eval ((a - (b - 1))) (ascPochhammer K b) / (Nat.factorial b)
theorem Nat.cast_choose_two (K : Type u_1) [DivisionRing K] [CharZero K] (a : ) :
(Nat.choose a 2) = a * (a - 1) / 2
