Internet memes are often images with sayings that can become very popular. For this genre I used some of the most well known meme pictures and added text that could help me teach students about combinations, permutations, and Pascal. The memes were generated using the sites www.zipmeme.com and www.quickmeme.com .
In this meme Boromir informs us that one does not simply reach the first principles of mathematics. According to Pascal the first principles, or truths, of mathematics can never be reached since proving them would require previous truths to back them up.
Even the most interesting man in the world uses permutations when he is finding the number of ways things can be chosen from a group when the order matters.
A promising mathematician remembered to use a combination when he was trying to find the number of ways he could choose things from a group when the order did not matter.
After looking at a large formula to find a combination, this angry cat decided that it would use an alternative method of using Pascals triangle to find the answer. (The next few genres will show us how Pascals triangle can be used to find combinations.)
