This guide explores permutations, focusing on counting arrangements when order matters. We examine various examples, such as how many ways 5 students can be seated at 5 desks and how 7 runners can finish a race. Through detailed explanations, we illustrate permutation notation with 'n' as the total number of objects and 'r' as the number in the arrangement. The guide also considers real-world applications, including committee selections from a group of volunteers, to highlight the importance and utility of permutations in mathematics.
