combinatorics

listen to the pronunciation of combinatorics
İngilizce - Türkçe
kombinatorik
İngilizce - İngilizce
a branch of mathematics that studies (usually finite) collections of objects that satisfy specified criteria (see the Wikipedia article for further details)
The branch of mathematics dealing with the number of different ways objects can be selected or arranged
{i} (Mathematics) branch of mathematics that deals with individual sets and problems of combination (divided into sub-branches: combinatorial analysis, combinatorial geometry, etc.)
Combinatorics is, loosely, the science of counting This is the area in mathematic in which we study families of sets (usually) finite with certain characteristic arrangements of their elements or subsets, and ask what combinations are possible, and how many there are This includes numerous quite elementary topics, such as enumerating all possible permutations or combinations of a finite set "
a branch of mathematics that studies (usually finite) collections of objects that satisfy specified criteria
The science that studies the numbers of different combinations, which are groupings of numbers Combinatorics is often part of the study of probability and statistics (cf Tables and Combinatorics Discussion)
Branch of mathematics concerned with the selection, arrangement, and combination of objects chosen from a finite set. The number of possible bridge hands is a simple example; more complex problems include scheduling classes in classrooms at a large university and designing a routing system for telephone signals. No standard algebraic procedures apply to all combinatorial problems; a separate logical analysis may be required for each problem. Combinatorics has its roots in antiquity, but new uses in computer science and systems management have increased its importance in recent years. See also permutations and combinations
The mathimatical discipline which attempts to answer "how many" questions (without actually having to count)
