Abstract

Let $n \geq 3$ and $0 \leq r \leq \frac{n-1}{2}$ be any integers. In this article, we see some formulas which calculate the binomial coefficients ${ }_n C_{2 r+1}$ using the values of $\tan \frac{k \pi}{n}$ for integers $1 \leq k \leq n-1$ as applications of Euler's formula " $e^{\sqrt{-1} \theta}=\cos \theta+\sqrt{-1} \sin \theta$ ".
