Number of Permutations
Let $S$ be a set of $n$ elements. Let $r \in \N: r \le n$. The number of $r$-permutations of $S$ is: :${}^n P_r = \dfrac {n!} {\paren {n - r}!}$ Using the falling factorial symbol, this can also be expressed: :${}^n P_r = n^{\underline r}$
We are seeking to calculate the number of $r$-permutations of $S$, that is ${}^n P_r$, where $r = n$. Hence: {{begin-eqn}} {{eqn | l = {}^n P_n | r = \dfrac {n!} {\paren {n - n}!} | c = Number of Permutations }} {{eqn | r = n! | c = {{Defof|Factorial}} }} {{end-eqn}} {{qed}}

Symmetry Rule for Binomial Coefficients
Let $n \in \Z_{>0}, k \in \Z$. Then: :$\dbinom n k = \dbinom n {n - k}$

If we choose $k$ objects from $n$, then we leave $n - k$ objects. Hence for every choice of $k$, we are also making the same choice of $n - k$. Hence the number of choices of $k$ objects is the same as the number of choices of $n - k$ objects. Hence the result. {{qed}}

Tychonoff's Theorem
Let $I$ be an indexing set. Let $\family {X_i}_{i \mathop \in I}$ be an indexed family of non-empty topological spaces. Let $\ds X = \prod_{i \mathop \in I} X_i$ be the corresponding product space. Then $X$ is compact {{iff}} each $X_i$ is compact.
First assume that $X$ is compact. From Projection from Product Topology is Continuous, the projections $\pr_i : X \to X_i$ are continuous. It follows from Continuous Image of Compact Space is Compact that the $X_i$ are compact. Assume now that each $X_i$ is compact. By Compact Space satisfies Finite Intersection Axiom...

Schur's Inequality
Let $x, y, z \in \R_{\ge 0}$ be positive real numbers. Let $t \in \R, t > 0$ be a (strictly) positive real number. Then: :$x^t \paren {x - y} \paren {x - z} + y^t \paren {y - z} \paren {y - x} + z^t \paren {z - x} \paren {z - y} \ge 0$ The equality holds {{iff}} either: : $x = y = z$ : Two of them are equal and the oth...
We note that the inequality, as stated, is symmetrical in $x, y$ and $z$. {{WLOG}}, we can assume that $x \ge y \ge z \ge 0$.

Addition Law of Probability
Let $\Pr$ be a probability measure on an event space $\Sigma$. Let $A, B \in \Sigma$. The probability of the occurrence of the union of $A$ and $B$ can be evaluated as: :$\map \Pr {A \cup B} = \map \Pr A + \map \Pr B - \map \Pr {A \cap B}$ That is, the probability of either event occurring equals the sum of their indiv...
By definition, a probability measure is a measure. Hence, again by definition, it is a countably additive function. By Measure is Finitely Additive Function, we have that $\Pr$ is an additive function. So Additive Function is Strongly Additive can be applied directly. {{qed}}
