A partition of a whole number

is a set of whole numbers that add up to

. Typically the numbers are written as a sum of numbers in descending order. The Ferrers diagram of a partition of

shows

dots in all, with

dots in the first row,

dots in the second row, and so on. This Demonstration shows the Ferrers diagrams of all the partitions for the numbers from 1 to 30.
