Key Concepts

Fundamental Principle of Counting

This principle states that if there are several independent steps in a process, the total number of outcomes is the product of the number of ways each step can occur. It’s essential when calculating possibilities where sequential choices are involved.

Permutations

Permutations concern the arrangement of items where the order matters. When selecting and ordering a subset of items, such as courses, without repetition, using the concept of permutations helps determine the total number of possible arrangements.
