  2. Factorial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorial

    In mathematics, the factorial of a non-negative integer, denoted by !, is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to . The factorial of also equals the product of with the next smaller factorial: ! = () = ()! For example, ! =! = =

  3. Double factorial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_factorial

    Stirling permutations, permutations of the multiset of numbers 1, 1, 2, 2, ..., k, k in which each pair of equal numbers is separated only by larger numbers, where k = ⁠ n + 1 / 2 ⁠. The two copies of k must be adjacent; removing them from the permutation leaves a permutation in which the maximum element is k − 1 , with n positions into ...

  4. Stirling's approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling's_approximation

    [1] [2] [3] One way of stating the approximation involves the logarithm of the factorial: ⁡ (!) = ⁡ + (⁡), where the big O notation means that, for all sufficiently large values of , the difference between ⁡ (!

    unstrict inequality signs (less-than or equals to sign and greater-than or equals to sign) 1670 (with the horizontal bar over the inequality sign, rather than below it) John Wallis: 1734 (with double horizontal bar below the inequality sign) Pierre Bouguer

  6. Falling and rising factorials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_and_rising_factorials

    In this article, the symbol () is used to represent the falling factorial, and the symbol () is used for the rising factorial. These conventions are used in combinatorics , [ 4 ] although Knuth 's underline and overline notations x n _ {\displaystyle x^{\underline {n}}} and x n ¯ {\displaystyle x^{\overline {n}}} are increasingly popular.

  7. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    [2] [3] Thus, in the expression 1 + 2 × 3, the multiplication is performed before addition, and the expression has the value 1 + (2 × 3) = 7, and not (1 + 2) × 3 = 9. When exponents were introduced in the 16th and 17th centuries, they were given precedence over both addition and multiplication and placed as a superscript to the right of ...

  8. Factorion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorion

    Let be a natural number. For a base >, we define the sum of the factorials of the digits [5] [6] of , :, to be the following: ⁡ = =!. where = ⌊ ⁡ ⌋ + is the number of digits in the number in base , ! is the factorial of and

  9. List of representations of e - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_representations_of_e

    The ratio of the factorial!, that counts all permutations of an ordered set S with cardinality, and the subfactorial (a.k.a. the derangement function) !, which counts the amount of permutations where no element appears in its original position, tends to as grows.
