See combinatorics made simple and how to avoid errors in counting principles
Combinatorics is an area of mathematics primarily concerned with counting. Combinatorial problems arise in many areas of pure mathematics, notably in algebra, probability theory, topology, and geometry.
On this free online combinatorics course, you’ll discover a simple and efficient method to translate a combinatorial problem into counting the elements of a reference mathematical structure.
You’ll learn basic counting principles, and be able to explain the most frequent errors in their misuse. Ultimately, you’ll discover that combinatorics isn’t as difficult as it seems.
