Fun with Permutations (series unlisted)

Abstract: Given a set of objects, a permutation is some rearrangement of the objects. If we view the permutation as a function, we can create an "algebra of rearrangements" to study how the rearrangement occurs: a permutation group. We'll look at some permutation groups that have shown up in poetry, dance, and on network television.
