 Definition of Factorial Notation:

The factorial of a number is the product of all the whole

numbers from the number down to one.

Illustration:

This is read as 7! = 7 · 6 · 5 · 4 · 3 · 2 · 1
“7 factorial”.

(Note: 0! is equal to 1.)

Definition of Permutation:
Types of Permutation:
1 n objects taken all n!

2 n objects taken r at a time

n objects w/ some
3 identical
4 n objects w/ repetition nr
5 n objects in a circle (n – 1)!
Miriam Ideal in Focus:
PRUDENT ZEAL
Being passionate, when not
controlled could burn you.
 Check-in Question:
How do the concepts of permutation
align with the concept of prudent zeal in
achieving efficient outcome?
 Miriam Ideal in Focus:
PRUDENT ZEAL
While it’s important to be
passionate and take initiative, it’s
equally important to think
through all possible outcomes
before making a decision.
