The matching problem. There are n letters addressed to n people at n different addresses. The n addresses are typed on n envelopes. A disgruntled secretary shuffles the letters and puts them in the envelopes in random order, one letter per envelope.

a) Find the probability that at least one letter is put in a correctly addressed envelope. [Hint: use the inclusion-exclusion formula of Exercise 1.3.1.2]

b) What is this probability approximately, for large n?
