I found the following formula in a book without any proof:
$$\sum_{k=0}^{2m}(-1)^k{\binom{2m}{k}}^3=(-1)^m\binom{2m}{m}\binom{3m}{m}.$$
I don't know how to prove this at all. Could you show me how to prove this? Or If you have any helpful information, please teach me. I need your help.
Update : I crossposted to MO.

Mark Wildon mentioned that this is Dixon's identity.
