In mathematics, telescoping refers to a property of certain algebraic expressions or iterated binary operations in which successive terms cancel each other after expansion. As a result, the overall expression simplifies significantly, since most intermediate terms eliminate one another, leaving only a small number of boundary terms from the original structure.
