The arrangements of objects are called permutations if the order is important. The arrangements of objects are called combinations if the order is not important. The general counting rule is called the multiplication principle. The multiplication principle can be extended to more than two decisions. ...

Permutations An arrangement of n distinct objects in a specific order is called a permutation of the objects. Note: To determine the number of possibilities mathematically, one can use the multiplication rule to get: 3 2 1 = 6 permutations. Permutations Permutation Rule : The arrangeme...
14.1.3 PERMUTATIONS Based on the definition given in §14.1.1 we have the following rule: Rule 4: Permutations: The total number of ways of arranging n objects, taking r at a time is given by n ! (n – r )! n n ! Notation: We use the notation Pr (read as “n–p–r’)...
How many permutations of 4 letters can be formed from the letters of the word 'NUMBERS'? Consider strings of eight uppercase English letters. Which rule must be used to find the number of strings of eight uppercase English letters that are there if the l...
The principle of inclusion and exclusion, the multiplication principle, and the rule of sum are introduced. Selections (combinations) and arrangements (permutations) are studied, leading to Pascal's triangle and the binomial theorem. DOI: 10.1007/978-0-8176-8319-1_2 ...
We sometimes write \Omega _N=\Omega _N(a_1,\ldots ,a_N) when we wish to think of \Omega _N as the set of cyclic permutations of vectors (a_1,\ldots ,a_N). Where no confusion is likely we omit (a_1,\ldots ,a_N) from the notation. For \omega a cyclic permutation, ...
