Power Set - Relation To Binomial Theorem

Relation To Binomial Theorem

The power set is closely related to the binomial theorem. The number of sets with elements in the power set of a set with elements will be a combination also called a binomial coefficient.

For example the power set of a set with three elements, has:

  • set with 0 elements
  • sets with 1 element
  • sets with 2 elements
  • set with 3 elements.

Famous quotes containing the words relation to, relation and/or theorem:

    The whole point of Camp is to dethrone the serious. Camp is playful, anti-serious. More precisely, Camp involves a new, more complex relation to “the serious.” One can be serious about the frivolous, frivolous about the serious.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    Skepticism is unbelief in cause and effect. A man does not see, that, as he eats, so he thinks: as he deals, so he is, and so he appears; he does not see that his son is the son of his thoughts and of his actions; that fortunes are not exceptions but fruits; that relation and connection are not somewhere and sometimes, but everywhere and always; no miscellany, no exemption, no anomaly,—but method, and an even web; and what comes out, that was put in.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)
