### Topic: Computing Permutations

#### Exercise 2: Compute Each of the Following (Based on 2bdm from Section 5.4)

For this exercise, we will compute the following permutations:

##### a) \((12)(1253)\)

##### b) \((1423)(34)(56)(1324)\)

##### c) \((12)^{-1}\)

To solve these problems, you will need to understand permutation notation and the concept of permutation composition and inverses.

---

**Important Points to Note:**

1. **Permutation Notation**: 
   - Permutations are denoted by cycles, for example, \((12)\) shifts the positions of 1 and 2.
   - The cycle \((1253)\) means that 1 is mapped to 2, 2 is mapped to 5, 5 is mapped to 3, and 3 is mapped back to 1.

2. **Composition of Permutations**: 
   - To compose permutations, apply the rightmost permutation first.

3. **Inverse Permutation**: 
   - The inverse of a permutation reverses the mapping of a cycle. For example, the inverse of \((12)\) is also \((12)\), as it simply swaps 1 and 2 again to return to the original position.

By understanding these concepts, you can solve each part of the exercise methodically.
