Topics in Permutations and Combinations

1

Fundamental Principle of Counting

  • The multiplication principle is the foundation of all counting techniques
  • If one event can occur in m ways and another in n ways, total ways = m × n
  • This principle extends to any number of events: for three events, total ways = m × n × p
2

Factorial Notation

  • n! represents the product of first n natural numbers
  • n! = n × (n-1) × (n-2) × ... × 2 × 1
  • 0! is defined as 1 (important convention)
3

Permutations - All Objects Distinct

  • Permutation is an arrangement where order matters
  • ⁿPᵣ represents permutations of n objects taken r at a time
  • Without repetition: ⁿPᵣ = n!/(n-r)!
4

Permutations - Objects Not All Distinct

  • When some objects are identical, total arrangements reduce
  • Divide by factorials of identical object groups
  • General formula: n!/(p₁! × p₂! × ... × pₖ!)
