I'm a max player. Don't get mad at me because I'm telling you what's real. One plus one is two, all day long, and it's never gonna change. And that's factorial.

Used mostly in math, particularly in probability and combinatorics.

Math Specific

The exclamation mark (!) denotes factorial, like in 5! for 5 factorial.

Symbol Representation

Factorials are only defined for non-negative integers, and 0! is 1.

Non-Negative Integers

In experiments, 'factorial' can describe a design regarding multiple factors.

Experimental Design

Factorial analysis is a technique in statistics for studying effects of factors.

Statistical Analysis

Factorial in research implies a more complex design with more variables.

Complexity

 what you have to do is to answer the question I asked you at the beginning. How many symmetries does a Rubik's Cube have? Okay, I'm going to sort you out. Rather than you all shouting out, I want you to count how many digits there are in that number. Okay? If you've got it as a factorial, you've got to expand the factorials.

 factorial which is a really big number of eyeballs eye pairs of eyes looking at the Rhino developing a 3d scan of him and because we were doing it from one side we'd take an image of him from one side and then have the watermelon moved to the other side so we'd have him turn around and piece by piece we built up

 If there are less than 2 odd characters, the stack can be made into a palindrome. This approach is much, much faster than the naïve solution. Instead of factorial time, it takes linear time. That’s where the time increases
