Chu vandermonde identity states that ${s+t \choose n}=\sum_{k=0}^n {s \choose k}{t \choose n-k} $

Now how to prove that this identity is a discrete form of beta integral?

i see as a starting point to rewrite this identity for n+1 by replacing n by n+1 , then what? any help? since after writing that i seem to be getting a very crude expression that leads me no where.

    Did you try rewriting the identity using beta functions?2011-08-27

    for writing that i need to know the beta form of chu inequality here which i dont have, any further help ?2011-08-27

    This might be useful: $Beta(1+k, 1+n-k) = \frac{1}{n+1} \frac{1}{\binom{n}{k}}$2011-08-27

    Do you want to find $p,q$ such that $\dbinom{s+t}{n}$ is expressed in terms of $B(p,q)$?2011-08-27
