Thinking Like a Mathematician
The term 'n choose k' refers to a mathematical notation, denoted as $$\binom{n}{k}$$, which represents the number of ways to choose a subset of size k from a larger set of size n without regard to the order of selection. This concept is foundational in combinatorics and is used extensively in probability theory and the binomial theorem, linking the selection of elements from sets with polynomial expansions.
