Mechanical Advantage

MA = output force / input force
MA = distance over which effort is applied / distance over which the load is moved

Ohm's & Joule's Laws

V = Electric Potential Difference (Volts)
I = Current (Ampere)
R = Resistance (Ohms)
P = Power (Watts)


V = I/R
P = IV
P = V2/R
P = I2/R

Combinatorics

nCr : "from n choose r"

n = length of possibility set (ex. 5 letters)
r = length of combination set (ex. pick 2)



Permutation with Repetition

Order matters and elements of the possibility set can be repeated.

nr

abcde
aaaabacadae
bbabbbcbdbe
ccacbcccdce
ddadbdcddde
eeaebecedee


Permutation without Repetition

Order still matters, but elements cannot be repeated.

n!
(n-r)!

Combination without Repetition

Order does not matter, and elements cannot be repeated.

n!
r!(n-r)!

Combination with Repetition

Order does not matter, but elements can be repeated.
