Arrangement

In general, an arrangement of objects is simply a grouping of them. The number of ``arrangements'' of $n$ items is given either by a Combination (order is ignored) or Permutation (order is significant).


The division of Space into cells by a collection of Hyperplanes is also called an arrangement.
