Newton’s Binomial Theorem transformed algebra by generalizing the expansion of (1 + x)^n to any rational exponent n; vastly increasing the expressions that could be written as infinite ascending power series of x, provided −1 < x < 1. This graphic distills that historic breakthrough and its precise conditions.

Newt Minow was a dear friend, mentor and early supporter of mine. He also embodied the ideal of public service – helping launch the satellites that made nationwide broadcasts possible, cementing presidential debates as a national institution, helping usher in public television, and reminding the media of its obligation to foster a well-informed citizenry. I will always owe a great debt to Newt, most of all because he helped introduce me to Michelle when we were both young lawyers in Chicago. We will miss him dearly, just as we miss his beloved wife, Jo, who passed away last year, and send our love and thoughts to their family.
