  1. Section 2.3.2 talks about the characteristic sequences of a set X. Recall what is a characteristic sequence is. If X = {0,1,4,9,16}, what is the characteristic sequence for {1,4,9} ?<\/li>\n
  2. Suppose we have 10 children in a classroom who are lining up to go to lunch. The children care quite a bit about where they stand in line because the closer you are to the front of the line, the sooner you get your food. Would you suggest using a subset or a permutation to model this situation? Why?<\/li>\n
  3. What is the answer to the question at the top of page 66? What is wrong about the first (incorrect) solution?<\/li>\n
  4. Compare examples 2.3.6 and 2.3.7. What is the difference between the question<\/em> being asked? What is different between the method<\/em> used to calculate the answer?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
