Factorial Notation and Basic Concepts
- Factorial notation n! = n × (n-1) × (n-2) × ... × 3 × 2 × 1
- 0! = 1 by convention
- Factorials are defined only for non-negative integers
2
Permutations - When Order Matters
- Permutation involves arrangement where order is important
- Symbol: nPr or P(n,r) represents permutations of n things taken r at a time
- Formula: nPr = n!/(n-r)! where n ≥ r
3
Combinations - When Order Doesn't Matter
- Combination involves selection where order is not important
- Symbol: nCr or C(n,r) represents combinations of n things taken r at a time
- Formula: nCr = n!/[r!(n-r)!] where n ≥ r
4
Special Cases and Advanced Applications
- Arrangements with identical objects: n!/(p₁!×p₂!×...×pₖ!)
- Distribution problems using stars and bars method
- Circular permutations: (n-1)! for distinct objects
