What is combinatorics?
Combinatorics is a branch of mathematics that deals with counting, arranging, and organizing objects or symbols.
Why is combinatorics important in technology?
Combinatorics provides essential tools for solving problems related to computer science, cryptography, algorithm design, and data analysis.
What are permutations?
Permutations are the arrangements of objects in a particular order.
What are combinations?
Combinations are selections of objects without considering the order.
What is the formula for calculating permutations?
The formula for permutations is n!/(n-r)!, where n is the total number of objects and r is the number of objects being arranged.
What is the formula for calculating combinations?
The formula for combinations is n!/((n-r)!r!), where n is the total number of objects and r is the number of objects being selected.
How many ways can 3 people be arranged in a line?

How many diagonals are there in a polygon with n sides?
There are n(n-3)/2 diagonals in a polygon with n sides.
What is the principle of inclusion-exclusion?
The principle of inclusion-exclusion is a formula used to calculate the number of elements in the union of sets.
What is the pigeonhole principle?
The pigeonhole principle states that if there are more pigeons than pigeonholes, then at least one pigeonhole must contain more than one pigeon.
What is a permutation with repetition?
A permutation with repetition is an arrangement of objects where repetition of some or all objects is allowed.
What is an example of a combination with repetition?
An example of a combination with repetition is choosing toppings for a pizza.
