Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This paper presents a method of calculating powers and sums of powers using binomial coefficients. The method involves finding analogues of Pascal's triangle for each power and then showing that powers and sums of powers are the sums of binomial coefficients multiplied by constants. The constants are unique for each power. This paper presents a general idea and not a formal proof.
