This is a program set I wrote for the RPN calculator that runs on the Palm Pilot. It implements factorial, permutations, combinations, Stirling numbers of the first kind, Stirling numbers of the second kind, and a program that will factor an integer.

This can be pasted into the Memo application and from there added to the RPN calculator.

// Factorial, permutations,
// combinations, stirling #s 2nd kind,
// factoring numbers.
//
// ! (factrial) returns the factorial of
// the number in the X register after
// taking the absolute value and then
// truncating it to a whole number.
//
// Pyx (permutations) returns
// permutations of y taken x at a
//  time.  This has been extended
// for negative numbers as
// suggested in Knuth's book
// Concrete Mathematics.  It is:
// (y)*(y-1)*...*(y-x+1).  If x is 0
// then 1 is returned by definition.
// If x is negative, then 0 is
// returned.
//
// Cyx (combinations) returns the
// number of ways of selecting x
// items out of y where order
// doesn't matter.  It too has been
// extended like Pyx.  If x is
// negative then 0 is returned, but
// if y is negative, then Pyx/x! is
// returned.
//
// S1yx (Stirling numbers of the
// first kind).  This is the number
// of ways to partition y items into
// x rings.  This is computationally
// intensive to calculate.  It can
// handle any pair of whole
// whole number values where
// y-x < 26, but cases where x is
// fairly large and y is quite a bit
// larger take a very long time.
// Beware of large values.
//
// S2yx (Stirling numbers of the
// second kind) This is the number
// of ways to partition y items into
// x sets.
//
// Factors.  This function takes
// the absolute value and then the
// integer portion of the number
// entered.  It then decomposes
// it into all of its prime factors
// which are placed on the stack.
