  2. Binomial coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_coefficient

    Alternative notations include C(n, k), n C k, n C k, C k n, [3] C n k, and C n,k, in all of which the C stands for combinations or choices; the C notation means the number of ways to choose k out of n objects. Many calculators use variants of the C notation because they can represent it on a single-line display.

  3. Stirling numbers of the first kind - Wikipedia

    n − 6 fixed points and three two-cycles; n − 5 fixed points, a three-cycle and a two-cycle, or; n − 4 fixed points and a four-cycle. The three types may be enumerated as follows: choose the six elements that go into the two-cycles, decompose them into two-cycles and take into account that the order of the cycles is not important:

  4. Combination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combination

    In mathematics, a combination is a selection of items from a set that has distinct members, such that the order of selection does not matter (unlike permutations).For example, given three fruits, say an apple, an orange and a pear, there are three combinations of two that can be drawn from this set: an apple and a pear; an apple and an orange; or a pear and an orange.

  5. Stirling's approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling's_approximation

    Because the remainder R m,n in the Euler–Maclaurin formula satisfies , =, + (), where big-O notation is used, combining the equations above yields the approximation formula in its logarithmic form: ⁡ (!

  6. Falling and rising factorials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_and_rising_factorials

    The coefficients () ()! are called connection coefficients, and have a combinatorial interpretation as the number of ways to identify (or "glue together") k elements each from a set of size m and a set of size n. There is also a connection formula for the ratio of two rising factorials given by () = (+) (),.

  7. Pascal's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_rule

    In mathematics, Pascal's rule (or Pascal's formula) is a combinatorial identity about binomial coefficients.It states that for positive natural numbers n and k, + = (), where () is a binomial coefficient; one interpretation of the coefficient of the x k term in the expansion of (1 + x) n.

  8. Central binomial coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_binomial_coefficient

    The central binomial coefficients give the number of possible number of assignments of n-a-side sports teams from 2n players, taking into account the playing area side The central binomial coefficient ( 2 n n ) {\displaystyle {\binom {2n}{n}}} is the number of arrangements where there are an equal number of two types of objects.

  9. Stirling numbers of the second kind - Wikipedia

    as the only way to partition an n-element set into n parts is to put each element of the set into its own part, and the only way to partition a nonempty set into one part is to put all of the elements in the same part. Unlike Stirling numbers of the first kind, they can be calculated using a one-sum formula: [2]
