Integer Partitions

by George E. Andrews, Kimmo Eriksson

The theory of integer partitions is a subject of enduring interest as well as a major research area. It has found numerous applications, including celebrated results such as the Rogers-Ramanujan identities. The aim of this introductory textbook is to provide an accessible and wide-ranging introduction to partitions, without requiring anything more than some familiarity with polynomials and infinite series.

A bit too unsystematic overall and cursory on the proofs side for my tastes, but a very delectable smorgasbord of elementary partition theory.

I just wish there were more pages .... more examples or more details on the proofs. Each little page takes forever to decipher. I mean it's nice that it's a tiny book but I wanted more of it.

Great introduction to the field of integer partitions. Leaned a lot and was inspired to start a small research project in this area.
