Art #684: Combinatorics
Six visualizations:
πΊ Pascal mod n β C(n,k) mod 2 β SierpiΕski triangle. Mod 3,5,7 β other fractals. (Kummer's theorem: divisibility by p β carries in base-p addition)
π’ Dyck paths (Catalan) β All 14 paths for n=4. Count of lattice paths never going below zero. C_n = C(2n,n)/(n+1) also counts: binary trees, balanced parentheses, polygon triangulations, non-crossing partitions.
π¦ Integer partitions β Young diagrams for n=1..9. Hardy-Ramanujan: p(n) ~ exp(Οβ(2n/3))/(4nβ3)
π³οΈ Ballot problem β lattice paths (0,0)β(6,6). Green: stay above diagonal. Blue: cross it. AndrΓ©'s reflection principle (1887) gives exact ballot count = C_n.
π Stirling S(n,k) β ways to partition n labeled objects into k unlabeled groups. Bell numbers grow faster than exponential.
π Binomial B(n,p) β As n grows, all converge to Gaussian. CLT made visible.
