This program computes the binomial coefficient C(n,m).

Description	Given nonnegative integers m and n with m <= n, this program computes the binomial coefficient C(n,m). It's about time someone wrote code to do this! I couldn't find it anywhere.
MATLAB release	MATLAB 6.0 (R12)

24 May 2004	Jos vdG	lookfor "binomial coefficient" returns NCHOOSEK
17 Sep 2005	B Hill	nchoosek works fine. This function only appears to support numeric calculation. Remove post from "Symoblic Math" section as it does not belong here.
24 May 2006	Mark Pijnenburg	Indeed this function does not work for symbolic computations so should be removed from this list. It works for numerical computations but for this there are better alternatives, e.g. nchoosek or other.

04 Jun 2004	Greg von Winckel sent me another version, which although not as accurate is much faster for large input, so I use his version when n>100.
