In this post I would like to prove the following identity, motivated by this tweet. $latex \displaystyle n! \prod_{k=0}^n \frac{1}{x+k} = \frac{1}{x\binom{x+n}{n}} = \sum_{k=0}^n \frac{(-1)^k \binom{n}{k}}{x+k}$ The first of these equalities is straightforward by the definition of binomial coefficients. To prove the second, we make use of partial fractions. We write the expansion $latex \displaystyle...

(Part I of this post ishere) Let $latex p(n)$ denote the partition function, which describes the number of ways to write $latex n$ as a sum of positive integers, ignoring order. In 1918 Hardy and Ramanujan proved that $latex p(n)$ is given asymptotically by $latex \displaystyle p(n) \approx \frac{1}{4n \sqrt{3}} \exp \left( \pi \sqrt{ \frac{2n}{3}...
