Join us as we explore counting permutations of a set with the constraint that no two consecutive values sit next to each other. We move from brute-force limits to elegant tools like recurrence relations and generating functions, uncover the asymptotic behavior via the dominant terms, and discover why the probability of such a permutation tends to 1/e as the set grows.
