Who's this dude Newton

While my daughter has fun in London, see Fira goes London, my son has trouble grasping Newtons Binomial theoreum.
So now and then I have to rack my brain trying to understand it and to explain it to him. It's not easy. And it's not fair. Newton (1643 - 1727) was not distracted by TV, radio, internet and what have we. Silently he could crunch the numbers.
Oh, the silence where is it gone?
