The video tutorial covers three main topics: determining the number of terms in a binomial expansion using Pascal's Triangle, calculating the first four terms of a binomial expansion, and finding the sum of an infinite geometric series. The instructor explains the concepts with examples and provides insights into re-proving formulas when forgotten.

• n - 1 terms

• 2n terms

• n + 1 terms

• n terms
