This counts the number of derangements of a set of n objects, these are the permutations with no fixed points. We introduce the concept with men, their hats, and the wrath of God. We'll use the inclusion exclusion principle to derive an expression for derangements and determine the probability a random permutation is a derangement, finding a surprising friend at the end. #mathematics #maths #combinatorics Textbooks I Like!
