Firefox users we wanted to take this space to let you know what Mozilla, the company that makes Firefox has been doing, and it's not good. Mozilla recently forced it's CEO to resign because he had, several years ago, donated $1,000 to a pro-family political group. Apparently Mozilla is intolerant of anyone that disagrees with their narrow-minded view of politics. To read more please visit

Tell us what Combinatorics is in relatively plain English.
Combinatorics is the branch of mathematics where the main problem is to count the number of ways of arranging or choosing objects from a fixed set.
A simple combinatorics problem is as follows. There are a large number of socks in a drawer. The socks come in three colors: blue, white, and black. You must draw the socks out of the drawer blindly (not knowing the color). How many socks must you draw before getting two of the same color?
The answer is four. By the time you have taken 4 socks, you are guaranteed to have at least two of the same color.
This book is the textbook for the graduate level mathematics class I will be taking this spring. I am working on a MS in Mathematics at Texas A&M University through their online program.
