Surprising Connections between Partitions and Divisors
... “partitions” of a given number as sums of positive integers. For example, the seven partitions of 5 are 5, 4 + 1, 3 + 2, 3 + 1 + 1, 2 + 2 + 1, 2 + 1 + 1 + 1, and 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1. The “partition function” p(n) is defined as the number of partitions of n. Thus, p(5) = 7. Prime numbers and divisors ...

It is well-known (e.g. [1, Thm. 3.1.12]) that rewriting is logical in the sense that s is equal to t in equational logic iff s is convertible to t in the rewrite system induced by the specification. This extends to subequational logics (cf. [3, Lem. 2.6] for rewrite logic). Lemma ...

Set theory
Set theory is the branch of mathematical logic that studies sets, which informally are collections of objects. Although any type of object can be collected into a set, set theory is applied most often to objects that are relevant to mathematics. The language of set theory can be used in the definitions of nearly all mathematical objects.The modern study of set theory was initiated by Georg Cantor and Richard Dedekind in the 1870s. After the discovery of paradoxes in naive set theory, numerous axiom systems were proposed in the early twentieth century, of which the Zermelo–Fraenkel axioms, with the axiom of choice, are the best-known.Set theory is commonly employed as a foundational system for mathematics, particularly in the form of Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory with the axiom of choice. Beyond its foundational role, set theory is a branch of mathematics in its own right, with an active research community. Contemporary research into set theory includes a diverse collection of topics, ranging from the structure of the real number line to the study of the consistency of large cardinals.
