Wikipedia

  1. Derangement

    In combinatorial mathematics, a derangement is a permutation of the elements of a set, such that no element appears in its original position. In other words, a derangement is a permutation that has no fixed points. The number of derangements of a set of size n is known as the subfactorial of n or the n-th derangement number or n-th de Montmort number. Notations for subfactorials in common use include !n, Dn, dn, or n¡.For n > 0, the subfactorial !n equals the nearest integer to n!/e, where n! denotes the factorial of n and e is Euler's number.The problem of counting derangements was first considered by Pierre Raymond de Montmort in 1708; he solved it in 1713, as did Nicholas Bernoulli at about the same time.

  1. Derangement

    In combinatorial mathematics, a derangement is a permutation of the elements of a set such that none of the elements appear in their original position. The numbers of derangements !n for sets of size n are called "de Montmort numbers" or "derangement numbers"; the subfactorial function maps n to !n. No standard notation for subfactorials is agreed upon, and n¡ is sometimes used instead of !n. The problem of counting derangements was first considered by Pierre Raymond de Montmort in 1708; he solved it in 1713, as did Nicholas Bernoulli at about the same time.
