Parent topics

  • Mathematics [r]: The study of quantities, structures, their relations, and changes thereof. [e]
  • Discrete mathematics [r]: The disciplines within mathematics that study discrete objects: combinatorics, graph theory, number theory, mathematical logic, … [e]

Subtopics

Elementary topics

  • Binomial coefficient [r]: The number of possible choices of k elements out of n elements, disregarding order. [e]
  • Factorial [r]: The number of ways of arranging n labeled objects in order; the product of the first n integers. [e]
  • Generating function [r]: Function g(x,y) corresponding to a family of orthogonal polynomials ƒ0(x), ƒ1(x),…, where a Taylor series expansion of g(x,y) in powers of y will have the polynomial ƒn (x) as the coefficient for the term yn. [e]
  • Inclusion-exclusion principle [r]: Principle that, if A and B are finite sets, the number of elements in the union of A and B can be obtained by adding the number of elements in A to the number of elements in B, and then subtracting from this sum the number of elements in the intersection of A and B. [e]
  • Pigeonhole principle [r]: Principle, that if a very large set of elements is partitioned into a small number of blocks, then at least one block contains a rather large number of elements. [e]
  • Stirling number [r]: Coefficients which occur in the Stirling interpolation formula for a difference operator. [e]
