Paragraph

This is not quite the left-hand side … yet. Notice that \({n \choose n} = {n \choose 0}\) and \({n \choose n-1} = {n \choose 1}\) and so on, by the identity in Example 1.4.4. Thus we do indeed get

\begin{equation*} {n \choose 0}^2 + {n \choose 1}^2 + {n \choose 2}^2 + \cdots + {n \choose n}^2\text{.} \end{equation*}
