  • The binomial coefficient shows up in a lot of places, so the formula for n choose k is very important. In this video we give a cool combinatorial explanation of that formula!

    You're a good teacher. You repeat things without sounding like you're repeating them. Gives time for things to sink in and gives a few ways to think about it.

    Very good, but need to watch this again and again to grasp it completely. Generalizations are always more difficult to prove than specific cases. Thank you.

    I am a mathematics Ph.D. student, and I use this formula all the time I never thought of its proof, I really found this proof elegant and well explained. Thanks.

    this feels like factor groups in abstract algebra, each subset of permutations feel like a coset. but what is the normal subgroup? or is this just completely different?

    k! is order mattering -> (n-k)! is order mattering. -> n! is number of orderings with ordering mattering -> n choose k is ordering not mattering Whattt?

    • @fullaccess2645
      @fullaccess2645 2 роки тому

      when you group them in boxes, many orders go to a single point. you only have to figure out the total number of orders (n!), and the number on of orders per box (k!(n-k)!).Then you divide the total by the boxes' total and you get the amount of points.

    This is brilliant. What I think though, is, you can add some specific example and explain it in the same way. I know that if you would have explained it with just an example, I would have asked about the generalization after that. But first general proof and then an example, I think is be better. Do not worry though, because I am trying an example myself. Thank you for a great explanation. Please let it be my favorite too.

  • @jonathangordon4428
    @jonathangordon4428 5 місяців тому

    Is there a simple algebraic proof for why these binomial coefficients are integers, given that formula? i can see why either (n-k)! or k! divide n!, but not why the product (n-k)!k! divides n! ... Seems spooky to me
