-Permutations taken all at a time

-Permutations taken r at time

-Distinguishable Permutations

-Circular Permutations

Permutations taken all at a time is

P(n,n) = n!

Factorial Notation

 If n is a positive integer, n! is a product of all positive integers less than n or equal to n.

 

We also define 0! = 1
