What Does Combinatorics Have to do With the Chain Rule?. Combinatorial Designs is a branch of discrete mathematics that focuses on arrangements of objects according to a set of rules. In Calculus I, the Chain Rule is a notoriously difficult concept for instructors to explain and for students to master, but, given the optimal practice, could students understand the Chain Rule more efficiently? In this talk, we explore a problem in Combinatorial Design Theory and how it can be applied to constructing Chain Rule homework.Open to all students, faculty, and community members.
