Factorials apply only to nonnegative integers but can be extended to complex numbers with positive real parts using the Gamma function, \(\Gamma(n) = \int_0^\infty e^{-x}x^{n-1}dx\).

The binomial theorem, making use of the well-known binomial coefficients, allows expressing \((x+y)^n\) as a sum: \((x+y)^n=\sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} x^k y^{n-k}\).

Euler's formula for convex polyhedra is a function of their number of faces (\(F\)), edges (\(E\)), and vertices (\(V\)), stating that \(F-E+V=2\).
