Lol one of my math profs used to challenge us to go to the donut shop and calculate how many ways you could order a dozen.

u/jolharg 16h ago

What like... "Half a dozen and then actually never mind half a dozen more", versus "12 please" or is it like 2+3+3+4 vs 6+5+1 etc?

u/adamtheskill 15h ago

Probably how many different combinations of donuts can you order and get a dozen. If there are more than like 3 different types of donuts you need to know a bit of combinatorics to find total combinations.

Don't they teach combinatoric functions on like week 2 of discrete mathematics

u/adamtheskill 14h ago

Bro combinatorics is so easy to forget by far the most boring area of mathematics

u/half-full-cumdump 13h ago

Nah man I use combinatorics every week

To calculate how much alcohol I can consume without suffering from side effects

u/Teoyak 12h ago

Oh. I hope you're careful and stay well !

u/half-full-cumdump 7h ago

That's precisely why I do math

u/Loading_M_ 13h ago

This could be during week one of discrete math. Could also be in any review unit to make sure students remember their combinatorics.

Does it depends on what u counting?

u/Professional-Wave841 19h ago

nah, combinatorics is just a hard subject.

u/GeodesicAxion 18h ago

Yah. My math teacher said ur way of thinking will change after learning this chapter. Is it true ?

u/Educational-Tea602 Proffesional dumbass 16h ago

Counting things is pretty hard. I can count to like, 7? Past that things get tough.

u/BrunoBraunbart 12h ago

Don't overcomplicate things. It's 1, 2, some, many, too many.

I want to ask like.. Have you ever wanted to fly?

u/LupenReddit 🦆🦆i have non diffeomorphic smooth structures🦆🦆🦆 19h ago

still cant get anything in combinatorics, that field is devilish

u/Accelerator_Apex 16h ago

Yeah, everyone says counting things are hard

u/hongooi 15h ago

I see what you did there

u/iggs44 17h ago

This should just be a uniform distribution

Counting actual things that actually exist and matter is easy

u/Archway9 20h ago

This is maths sub, it's a strict rule to not talk about things that actually exist or matter

u/Last_Finance4764 19h ago

Of course the computer scientist is talking, go be unemployed or something

You're playing the World Series of Poker and your opponent goes all-in. You have K8 in your hand. Do you call?
