In particular, we give a "one-line" combinatorial proof of the unimodality of the binomial coefficients. Other examples include products of binomial coefficients, polynomials related to the Legendre polynomials, and a result connected to a conjecture of Simion.7 pages (plus cover and abstract)CombinatoricsUnimodality and the reflection principletext
