{wiki=Binomial_coefficient}
The binomial coefficient, often denoted as \\( \\binom\{n\}\{k\} \\) or \\( C(n, k) \\), is a mathematical expression that represents the number of ways to choose \\( k \\) elements from a set of \\( n \\) elements without regard to the order of selection. It is a crucial concept in combinatorics and has applications in probability, statistics, and various fields of mathematics.
