You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 2 geometry books, 4 geography books, 5 history books, and 3 physics books. How many ways are there to put the books on the shelf?
------------------
If each book is distinguishable the answer is 14!
----
If each class of book is distinguishable but the
groups are identical the answer is 14!/(2!*4!*5!*3!)
