Abstract

The article presents a discussion about a summation formula that is used in certain transformations on generating algebraic and differential functions and the extraction and creation of coefficients. The goal of the article is to offer the method of coefficients. Mathematical functions are manipulated in order to arrive at a single and simple mathematical expression. It mentions that generating functions have emerged as one of the most popular approaches to combanitorial problems, which includes the analysis of algorithms.
