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.
