Theorem bcval

Description: Value of the binomial coefficient, N choose K . Definition of binomial coefficient in Gleason p. 295. As suggested by Gleason, we define it to be 0 when 0 <_ K <_ N does not hold. See bcval2 for the value in the standard domain. (Contributed by NM, 10-Jul-2005) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 7-Nov-2013)
