Abel's binomial theorem, named for Niels Henrik Abel, is a combinatorial identity involving sums of binomial coefficients paired with power terms. It expresses a particular weighted sum over binomial coefficients as a simplified closed-form expression, giving a compact formula that ties binomial coefficients and exponential-style terms together within a single identity.

Has Statement Form
Entity-backed identity for the statement-form enum value this theorem already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The statement-form fact itself stays on the theorem unchanged.
