Discrete Math II - 6.1.3 The Subtraction and Division Rules

We finish up section 6.1 by discussing the last two basic counting rules; the subtraction and division rules. The subtraction rule is really just the principle of inclusion-exclusion. You might also see it called the General Addition Rule, as it is about "or" questions and addition of possible outcomes. The "difference" (sorry, dumb math humor) is that we subtract any elements that were counted in both sets we added.

The division rule isn't one we use often, but we go through one quick example to show how to account for options that were counted multiple times.
