In number theory and combinatorics, a partition of a positive integer n, also called an integer partition, is a way of writing n as a sum of positive integers. Two sums that differ only in the order of their summands are considered the same partition. (If order matters, the sum becomes a composition.) For example, 4 can be partitioned in five distinct ways: 43 + 12 + 22 + 1 + 11 + 1 + 1 + 1 The order-dependent composition 1 + 3 is the same partition as 3 + 1, and the two distinct compositions 1 + 2 + 1 and 1 + 1 + 2 represent the same partition as 2 + 1 + 1. A summand in a partition is also called a part. The number of partitions of n is given by the partition function p(n). So p(4) = 5. The notation λ ⊢ n means that λ is a partition of n. Partitions can be graphically visualized with Young diagrams or Ferrers diagrams. They occur in a number of branches of mathematics and physics, including the study of symmetric polynomials and of the symmetric group and in group representation theory in general. (Wikipedia).
Partitions of a Set | Set Theory
What is a partition of a set? Partitions are very useful in many different areas of mathematics, so it's an important concept to understand. We'll define partitions of sets and give examples in today's lesson! A partition of a set is basically a way of splitting a set completely into disj

Number theory Full Course [A to Z]
Number theory (or arithmetic or higher arithmetic in older usage) is a branch of pure #mathematics devoted primarily to the study of the integers and integer-valued functions. Number theorists study prime numbers as well as the properties of objects made out of integers (for example, ratio

We have seen an example of partitioning in the previous video. These partitioned sets are called equivalence sets or equivalence classes. In this video we look at some notation.

Example of Countable Partition
Real Analysis: We give an example of a partition of the natural numbers N consisting of a countably infinite number of countably infinite subsets. Conversely we note that a countable union of countably infinite sets is countably infinite.
