Our method is based on two simple identities that can be automatically proved using the Zeilberger and q-Zeilberger algorithms. We further illustrate our method by proving two further binomial coefficient sums. © 2014 © 2014 Taylor & Francis.Mahidol UniversityMathematicsArticleSCOPUS10.1080/10236198.2014.917635
