  2. Stars and bars (combinatorics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars_and_bars_(combinatorics)

    For any pair of positive integers n and k, the number of k-tuples of positive integers whose sum is n is equal to the number of (k − 1)-element subsets of a set with n − 1 elements. For example, if n = 10 and k = 4, the theorem gives the number of solutions to x 1 + x 2 + x 3 + x 4 = 10 (with x 1, x 2, x 3, x 4 > 0) as the binomial coefficient

  3. 24 (puzzle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24_(puzzle)

    The original version of 24 is played with an ordinary deck of playing cards with all the face cards removed. The aces are taken to have the value 1 and the basic game proceeds by having 4 cards dealt and the first player that can achieve the number 24 exactly using only allowed operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and parentheses) wins the hand.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambling_mathematics

    The mathematics of gambling is a collection of probability applications encountered in games of chance and can get included in game theory.From a mathematical point of view, the games of chance are experiments generating various types of aleatory events, and it is possible to calculate by using the properties of probability on a finite space of possibilities.

  5. Combinatorics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorics

    Combinatorics is an area of mathematics primarily concerned with counting, both as a means and as an end to obtaining results, and certain properties of finite structures.It is closely related to many other areas of mathematics and has many applications ranging from logic to statistical physics and from evolutionary biology to computer science.

  6. Combinatorial explosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorial_explosion

    Imagine a simple system with only one variable, a boolean called A. The system has two possible states, A = true or A = false. Adding another boolean variable B will give the system four possible states, A = true and B = true, A = true and B = false, A = false and B = true, A = false and B = false.

  7. k-way merge algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-way_merge_algorithm

    In each game, two of the input elements compete. The winner is promoted to the next round. Therefore, we get a binary tree of games. The list is sorted in ascending order, so the winner of a game is the smaller one of both elements. Loser tree. For k-way merging, it is more efficient to only store the loser of each game (see image).
