Exploring the intriguing world of number partitions, this book delves into the mathematical principles behind expressing numbers as sums of positive integers. It offers insights into the combinatorial aspects of partitions, highlighting their significance in various mathematical contexts and applications. Through detailed explanations and examples, readers will gain a deeper understanding of how partitions function and their relevance in broader mathematical theories.

The discovery of a 138-page manuscript in Srinivasa Ramanujan's handwriting, found by George Andrews at Trinity College in 1976, is likened to a monumental cultural find, akin to Beethoven's lost symphony. This "lost notebook" of Ramanujan contains groundbreaking mathematical insights, shedding light on the genius of one of history's most influential mathematicians. The manuscript has since sparked significant interest and research in the mathematical community, revealing new dimensions of Ramanujan's work and its implications.

Written by a distinguished mathematician and teacher, this undergraduate text uses a combinatorial approach to accommodate both math majors and liberal arts students. In addition to covering the basics of number theory, it offers an outstanding introduction to partitions, plus chapters on multiplicativity-divisibility, quadratic congruences, additivity, and more.

Two-thirds of Africans, both free and enslaved, who came to the Americas from 1500 to 1870 came to Spanish America and Brazil. Yet Afro-Latin Americans have been excluded from narratives of their hemisphere's history. George Reid Andrews redresses this omission by making visible the lives and labors of black Latin Americans in the New World.
