 * "The number of permutations of m elements from n possible elements is $$n!/m! = n(n-1)...(n-m+1) \ $$. "

Think you might mean $$\frac {n!} {\left({n-m}\right)!}$$.

Easy to get confused, I've just stared at it for 10 minutes with a puzzled look on my face!

See Number of m-Cycles in Symmetric Group‎ for the page I did. --prime mover 09:13, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
