8.2 Theory

 

A complete exposition of Knowledge Space Theory is not intended here. The Bibliography contains a number of references for those interested in further details (Sec. 8.3). Knowledge Space Theory is expressed in a mathematical discipline often referred to as "Combinatorics." What follows here is a brief, intuitive summary introducing certain fundamental terms employed in discussions of ALEKS.
