Abstract
In this chapter we shall consider the representation of a given positive integer as a sum of positive integers, as well as the representation of a given finite set in the form of the union of pairwise disjoint sets. These representations will be called the partitions of positive integers and the partitions of finite sets. We shall be interested in counting the number of partitions that satisfy some additional conditions.
