Abstract:

We formulate several polynomial identities. One side of these identities has a nice simple form, whereas the other has the form of a polynomial whose coefficients contain binomial coefficients, double factorials, or rising factorials. The origins and the proofs of these identities are probabilistic. However, their form suggests universal applications in simplifying expressions. Many useful simplifying formulae are presented in the sequel.
