1.8.15 Advanced Topic: Combinatorial Operations
You can use lists to set up many kinds of combinatorial calculations. Here are a few examples.
Some combinatorial operations on lists.
This gives the  possible permutations of three elements.
In[1]:= Permutations[{a,b,c}]
Out[1]= 
This combines the list elements in all possible ways. This operation is analogous to a mathematical "outer product" (see Section 3.7.11).
In[2]:= Outer[List, {a, b}, {c, d}]
Out[2]=
