Combinatorics: Combinations with Replacement
This is part 5 of a 5 part series on Combinatorics.
The last type of combination we will talk about is combinations with replacement. One example of this type of counting problem is buying products…

Combinatorics: Combinations without Replacement
This is part 4 of a 5 part series on Combinatorics.
When you think of combinations, the first thing that comes to mind might be a “combination lock”. Unfortunately, that is actually a very bad…
Combinatorics: Permutations without Replacement
This is part 3 of a 5 part series on Combinatorics.
Yesterday, I talked about how to count permutations when the same set of options is available at each step of the process. Today, I’ll…
Combinatorics: Permutations with Replacement
This is part 2 of a 5 part series on Combinatorics.
Back when we were talking about game theory, one of the scenarios we talked about was that your company (e.g., Doug’s Desserts) needs to…
Combinatorics
This is part 1 of a 5 part series on Combinatorics.
We’ve recently talked about decision trees, game theory, and customer personas. For each topic, we’ve used examples that have a small number of cases…
