I like them because they take a practical approach to math. Good problem solvers with a minimum of jargon.

They do not know how to tell if N is a sum of R primes.

Re: Permutations
It is just my idea. Many can, though.
What a coincidence! My father was too.

You are slowly morphing into a math type and therefore think that you need lots of set theory.

Re: Permutations
I have 10 books on a rack arranged in a line. In how many ways can I permute the books again such that no two books which have been adjacent before are adjacent now?

Re: Permutations
For the first two days, there was no Math books. DG is a philosophy professor, so his bookshelf was stuffed with Phil books.
Kenaram came to teach DG's daughter some math and then I proved Kenaram an idiot to them.
