Combinatorics and Probability - Stanford University
infolab.stanford.eduProbability In computer science we frequently need to count things and measure the likelihood of events. The science of counting is captured by a branch of mathematics called combinatorics. The concepts that surround attempts to measure the likelihood of events are embodied in a field called probability theory. This chapter introduces the
