There are different types of special products from binomials.

One is multiplying a binomial by itself, which would be like
(a+b)^2. That can be easily reduced to (a+b)(a+b) and then distributed out by FOIL.

Another would be multiplying a subtract by a subtract. Like
(a-b)^2. That can be reduced to (a-b)(a-b) and then FOILed out.

And the last one would be the difference of squares. It's called that because (a+b)(a-b) can be FOILed out to be
a^2-b^2. And that is a difference of squares.

Comment if you still have any other questions :)
