What to Focus On

  • Order of events matters in multiplication principle.
  • The principle works for two events and extends to any finite number of events.
  • This principle is the base of all counting in permutations and combinations.

  • Permutation means arrangement in order.
  • Factorial notation shortens counting expressions.
  • 0! is a defined value, not derived.

  • Repeated letters reduce the number of distinct permutations.
  • Use factorial division to remove overcounting caused by identical objects.
  • If some objects must stay together, treat them as a single block first.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Permutation and combination are the same thing.

When digits are repeated, use nPr as usual.

0! should be found by ordinary multiplication like other factorials.
