Combinatorial proof of identity
Santa Claus has $N+1$ reindeer whose noses are of varying redness. Every year, Santa needs $n+1$ reindeer to pull his sleigh. The reddest-nosed reindeer always leads the sleigh.
The way Santa chooses …

Sum of products of binomials
Let $G$ be the (infinite) graph with vertex set $\mathbb{Z}^2$, and the following edges. When $x+y < 0$, the vertex $(x,y)$ has outgoing edges to $(x+1,y)$ and to $(x,y+1)$. When $x+y \geq 0$, the ver …

Sum of multinomals = sum of binomials: why?
For convenience set $m=n-2k$. Then
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
\binom{n-2k+j}{j,k-2j,n-3k+2j} &= \binom{m+j}{j,k-2j,m-k+2j} \\
&= \binom{m+j}{m} \binom{m}{k-2j} \\
&= [t^j](1-t)^{-(m+1)} …
