Binomial Series
$ \begin{align} (a+x)^n & = a^n + na^{n-1}x + \frac {n(n-1)}{2!} a^{n-2}x^2 + \frac {n(n-1)(n-2)}{3!} a^{n-3}x^3 + \cdot \cdot \cdot \\ & = a^n + \binom{n}{1} a^{n-1}x + \binom{n}{2} a^{n-2}x^2 + \binom{n}{3} a^{n-3}x^3 + \cdot \cdot \cdot \\ \end{align} $

$ (a+x)^{1/3} \ = \ 1 \ + \ \frac{1}{3}x \ - \ \frac{2}{3 \bullet 6}x^2 \ + \ \frac {2 \bullet 5 }{3 \bullet 6 \bullet 9} x^3 \ - \ \cdot \cdot \cdot $ $ -1 < x \leqq 1 \qquad $
