Term
Stirling Numbers (1st Kind): Recursion Relation
Definition
Number of permutations of n elements that consist of exactly k cycles.
Term
Stirling Numbers (1st Kind): Recursion Relation
Definition

Number of k partitions on a n set.

 

S(n, k) = S(n-1, k-1) + k*S(n-1, k)

S(n,1) = S(n,n) = 1

 

Term
Cake Cutting
Definition

k cuts on n dimensions:

 

P(k,n) = P(k-1, n) + P(k-1, n-1)

Term
n-lists (Enumeration)
Definition

For lists: order matters, repetition is permissible

 

k lists from an n set:

 

k^n w/ no repetition: n!/(n-k)!

Term
n-multisets (Enumeration)
Definition

set with repetition:

 

(n+k-1)!/(n-1)!k!

Term
P(An) Where set A consists of n items (How many?)
Definition
2^n
Term
|An x Bm| Where A, B consist of n,m elements (How many?)
Definition
n x m
Term
Map Ax(AxA) to (AxA)xA (how many?)
Definition
(n^3)^(n^3)
