binomial

Two-term expression

Binomial means having two names or parts.

In biology, binomial nomenclature is the two-part naming system for species: genus plus species, as in *Homo sapiens*.

In mathematics, a binomial is an algebraic expression with two terms joined by plus or minus: x + y, a² − b².

The binomial theorem describes how to expand expressions like (x + y)ⁿ.
