Thomas E. Mason has shown that the number of ways in which a number n may be partitioned into consecutive parts, including the case of a single term, is equal to the number of odd divisors of n. This result is generalized by determining the number of partitions of n into arithmetic progressions with an odd common difference, including the case of a single term.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
