Unit 1 - Permutations and Organized Counting
GOALS:
By the end of this unit you will be able to
(1) Represent complex tasks or issues, using diagrams.
(2) Solve introductory counting problems involving the additive and multiplicative counting principles.
(3) Express the answers to permutation and combination problems, using standard combinatorial symbols.
(4) Evaluate expressions involving factorial notation, using appropriate methods.
(5) Solve problems, using techniques for counting permutations where some objects may be alike.
(6)Identify patterns in Pascal’s triangle and relate the terms of Pascal’s triangle to values of P(n, r ) to the expansion of a binomial, and to the solution of related problems.
(7) Communicate clearly, coherently, and precisely the solutions to counting problems.
