In his article in No. 15 of Mathematical Notes, Dr Dougall has shown how by introducing series with n terms and a remainder, instead of infinite series, some well-known proofs of Newton's Theorems and others can be rendered more elementary in character. Once the idea has been suggested, it is of course easy to find further applications for it.
