The Binomial Theorem
This math equation is my favorite equation because it is just so interesting! When we see a math problem like (8x + 4) ^3, we automatically think to multiply it out three times - "foil" (distribute) it out once, and then "foil" it out again. But, nope! Apparently there's a formula to do that; and I didn't learn until my senior year in college! The Binomial Theorem allows you to quickly solve this problem using combinations (choice), multiplication, exponents, a little bit of subtraction, a little bit of addition, and like magic...you get your solution!
