Abstract
Solving combinatorial problems always requires knowledge of basic combinatorial configurations such as arrangements, permutations, and combinations. All of them are formed from the elements of the finite sets considered, for example, by taking sequences of the elements that belong to some sets or by taking subsets. In this chapter we shall define these combinatorial configurations and provide some examples and exercises.
