Abstract
The partition function p(n) enjoys some remarkable congruence properties. Most notable are the celebrated Ramanujan congruences p(5n+4)≡0 (mod 5), p(7n+5)≡0 (mod 7), and p(11n+6)≡0 (mod 11). After a discussion of the rationale behind these congruences, we discuss generalizations and open questions regarding the behaviour of the partition function.
