Introduction
The factorial [[id:b1f9aa55-5f1e-4865-8118-43e5e5dc7752][function]] $n!: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ describes the amount of ways one can arrange $n$ differentiable objects. In practice:
\begin{align*}
0! = 1 \\
n! = (n - 1)! \times n
\end{align*}
is a [[id:8f265f93-e5fd-4150-a845-a60ab7063164][recursive]] definition of the factorial.
