Scheduling a 12 person fishing 2013-07-09
Don pose la question :
Greetings Math Central!
I searched the index, but could not find a similar quandary.
Here's my predicament:
I am seeking help in scheduling a 12 person fishing outing.
We have four boats.
I would like to schedule three fishermen to a boat.
We fish 2 1/2 days, split into morning and afternoon sessions.
Thursday afternoon, Friday morning, Friday afternoon, Saturday morning, and Saturday afternoon
We switch boats after lunch, with each fisherman moving to a different boat, with different partners.
I would like to have each fisherman fish with as many others in the group as possible, with a minimum of partner duplication.
I would like to have each fisherman fish in all of the four different boats over the course of the trip at least once.

Would you please suggest a boat / fishing partner schedule that fits my parameters as closely as possible.

Thank you!

Don

The total number of roles that a user can be assigned 2011-12-02
Colin pose la question :
Hi, I want to define an equation for calculating the total combination of roles that a user can be assign in a system.

Here is the background: There are two types of roles that a user can be assigned. These are object roles and data roles. There must be at least 1 object and 1 data role in the system. A user must be assigned at least 1 object role and at least 1 data role. A user can be assigned as many object roles and data roles as are created in the system. There is no upper limit to the number of roles that a user can be assigned except for the total number of object roles and data roles that exist. The number of object roles and data roles in the system are independent. Can someone please assist? Thanks.

Permutations 2007-03-11
Meghan pose la question :
Hello, I'm working on the beginning of the combinatorics unit in Math 12 in BC. We just looked at using the nPr or n!/(n-r)! formula.

My questions for homework that I didn't quite understand how to do were:

Solve each equation for n. 1) nP2 = 90
2) 6Pn = 720


I managed to do these in my head, but I'm not sure how to solve these algebraically.

Thanks for all your help! -Meghan
