The <Euler sequence> on $\mathbb P^m$ is
$$
0\longrightarrow\mathcal O_{\mathbb P^m}
\longrightarrow\mathcal O_{\mathbb P^m}(1)^{\oplus(m+1)}
\longrightarrow T\mathbb P^m\longrightarrow0.
$$
The Whitney product formula for the <Total Chern class> therefore gives
$$
c(T\mathbb P^m)=\frac{(1+H)^{m+1}}1=(1+H)^{m+1}
$$
in $A^*(\mathbb P^m)=\mathbb Z[H]/(H^{m+1})$.
