Reviews
'Interesting historical remarks and recent results are also contained. This book offers a charming entryway to partition theory.' Zentralblatt MATH 'The clarity, accuracy, and motivation found in the writing should make the book especially attractive to students who want to begin to learn about the beautiful theory of partitions.' Combinatorics, Probability and Computing

Zentralblatt MATH 'The clarity, accuracy, and motivation found in the writing should make the book especially attractive to students who want to begin to learn about the beautiful theory of partitions.' Combinatorics, Probability and Computing ...until now there has not been a good introduction to the subject at an elementary level. Integer Partitions...is written at a level that most undergraduates, and even many high school students, could follow quite easily. -MAA Reviews, Darren Glass, Columbia University This book is written in a very easy and friendly style. The authors start from scratch and lead the readers from the easy to the unsolved problems. It is really a pleasure to read. -Mathematical Reviews
