[seqfan] maybe not surprising.

hi,
maybe the following is trivial:
In[ ]:= try1= Sum[ Binomial[n+k ,k-n] ,{n,0,k}]
Out[ ]= (2*Cosh[(-1 - 2*k)*ArcSinh[1/2]])/Sqrt[5]
generates the odd terms from the Fibonacci series.
some different ways to write the same:
(2*Cosh[ArcCsch[2] + 2*k*ArcCsch[2]])/Sqrt[5]
==
((1/2 + Sqrt[5]/2)^(-1 - 2*k) + (1/2 + Sqrt[5]/2)^(1 + 2*k))/Sqrt[5]
==
((2/(1 + Sqrt[5]))^(1 + 2*k) + (1/2*(1 + Sqrt[5]))^(1 + 2*k))/Sqrt[5]
wouter.
