$\sum\limits_{j=1}^{\infty} a^j = {a \over {1-a}}, |a| < 1$

$S_N = \sum\limits_{j=1}^N a^j$

$S_N = a + a^2 + \cdots + a^N$ -- ①

$aS_N = a^2 + \cdots a^{N+1}$ -- ②

If we subtract ② from ①, we get

$S_N = {{a - a^{n+1}} \over {1-a}}$

$\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty} k a^k = {a \over (1-a)^2}$

$\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} ({1 + x \over n})^n = e^x$

In Probability,

(p+q)^n = \sum\limits_{k=0}^n {n \choose k} p^k q^{n-k}

Let $n=1$ . Then

\sum\limits_{k=0}^1 {1 \choose k }p^k q^{n-k} = {1 \choose 0} p^0 q^1 + {1 \choose 1} p^1 q^0

Assume that $(p+q)^m = \sum\limits_{k=0}^m {1 \choose m }p^k q^{m-k}$ . Let $n = m+1$ . Then

(p+q)^{m+1} = (p+q) (p+q)^m = (p+q) \sum\limits_{k=0}^m {1 \choose m }p^k q^{m-k}

p \sum\limits_{k=0}^m {m \choose k}p^k q^{m-k} + q \sum\limits_{k=0}^m {m \choose k}p^k q^{m-k}

\sum\limits_{k=0}^m {m \choose k}p^{k+1} q^{m-k} + \sum\limits_{k=0}^m {m \choose k}p^k q^{m-k+1}

Let $j=k+1$ and $k=j-1$ for the first and $j=k$ for the second sum. Then,

\sum\limits_{j=1}^{j=m+1} {m \choose {j-1}}p^{j} q^{m + 1 - j} + \sum\limits_{j=0}^{j=m} {m \choose j}p^j q^{m-j+1}
