Combinatorics at Stage 6 (1 Viewer)

[ivanradoszyce]

Hi all,

Excuse my ignorance since I do not live in NSW. Are permutations and combinations taught at stage 6 level?

Thanks in advance.

Yes!

Can you please expand this answer.

Which mathematics subject is it taught? Is it an optional area of study or compulsory? I would appreciate a little more information.

Compulsory unless you want to pray that it doesn't come up in your hsc (which it most likely will)
It's taught in mx1 and can be seen in some mx2 questions iirc
I'm not sure about adv and std maths
