Permutation of $X$

Definition

Let $X$ be a set. A $\textdef{permutation}$ of $X$ is a bijection from $X$ to $X$. We can think of a permutation of $X$ as a way of rearranging the elements in $X$. The identity permutation is the permutation $id_X:X\to X$ defined by $id_X(x)=x$.


Remarks

  • None.
