This might be a super stupid question, but my math courses are long gone and I am stuck completely solving some math puzzles for fun. Just as a hobby, no homework involved.
I want to calculate the number of ways N coins can be partitioned. I have learned that there is an extra section of number theory for this and Euler was involved too, of course.
I can calculate the generalized pentagonal numbers using
$$ g_k = k(3k-1)/2 $$
but I have no clue how to calculate an actual value for $P(n)$. I see a lot of endless series but no solution. Could someone point to to some resources on how to work actually with these?
