Theory of Partitions

Klappentext Discusses mathematics related to partitions of numbers into sums of positive integers. Zusammenfassung The partitions of a number are the ways of writing that number as sums of positive integers. For example! the five partitions of 4 are 4! 3+1! 2+2! 2+1+1! and 1+1+1+1. This book considers the many theoretical aspects of this subject! which have in turn recently found applications to statistical mechanics! computer science and other branches of mathematics.
