A
A theorem that relates the number of symmetries of an object to the number of ways it can be colored.
💡 Explanation:
The Pólya Enumeration Theorem states that the number of ways to color an object with $n$ colors is equal to the sum of the number of orbits of the symmetry group of the object acting on the set of $n$-colorings.
