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 psychoanalysis of individual human beings, however, teaches us with quite special insistence that the god of each of them is formed in the likeness of his father, that his personal relation to God depends on his relation to his father in the flesh and oscillates and changes along with that relation, and that at bottom God is nothing other than an exalted father.
    Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)

    There is undoubtedly something religious about it: everyone believes that they are special, that they are chosen, that they have a special relation with fate. Here is the test: you turn over card after card to see in which way that is true. If you can defy the odds, you may be saved. And when you are cleaned out, the last penny gone, you are enlightened at last, free perhaps, exhilarated like an ascetic by the falling away of the material world.
    Andrei Codrescu (b. 1947)

    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)
