Key Terms Explained
- Prime number
- A whole number greater than 1 divisible only by 1 and itself.
- Factorial
- n! is the product of every whole number from 1 to n. It grows faster than exponentials.
- Permutation vs combination
- Permutations count ordered arrangements; combinations count unordered selections.
- Standard deviation
- How far, on average, values sit from the mean of a data set.
Why this matters
Understanding beats memorising. Tools that show the working — the factors, the steps, the intermediate values — turn a homework answer into something you can reproduce in an exam without the tool.
