PL-OM 1991 Problem 2

    Let XX be the set of all lattice points in the plane (points (x,y)(x, y) with x,y∈Zx, y \in \mathbb{Z} ). A path of length nn is a chain (P0,P1,...,Pn)(P_0, P_1, ... , P_n) of points in XX such that Pi−1Pi=1P_{i-1}P_i = 1 for i=1,...,ni = 1, ... , n . Let F(n)F(n) be the number of distinct paths beginning in P0=(0,0)P_0=(0,0) and ending in any point PnP_n on line y=0y = 0 . Prove that F(n)=(2nn)F(n) = \binom{2n}{n}
