Stirling number of the first kind

Mathematics
  • The number s(n,r) of ways of partitioning a set of n elements into r cycles. For example, the set {1,2,3,4} can be partitioned into two cycles in the following ways:

    [1,2,3][4],[1,3,2][4],[1,2,4][3],[1,4,2][3],[1,3,4][2],[1,4,3][2],[2,3,4][1],[2,4,3][1],[1,2][3,4],[1,3][2,4],[1,4][2,3].

    So s(4, 2) = 11. Clearly s(n,1) = (n−1)! and s(n, n) = 1. It can be shown that

    s(n+1,r)=s(n,r1)+ns(n,r)

    Rather like the binomial coefficients, the Stirling numbers occur as coefficients in certain identities. They are named after the Scottish mathematician James Stirling (1692–1770).
