Topics in Permutations and Combinations
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
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)
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)!
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!)
