Combinatorics - practice problems - page 3 of 51
Combinatorics is a part of mathematics that investigates the questions of existence, creation and enumeration (determining the number) of configurations.It deals with two basic tasks:
How many ways can we select certain objects
How many ways can we arrange certain objects
