HW 2 - due Tuesday, May 17
(4) [MACMAHON]
    Let M[1](n) denote the number of partitions of n into parts,
    each larger than 1, such that consecutive integers do not
    appear as parts. Let M[2](n) denote the number of partitions on n
    in which no part appears exactly once. Prove that

    M[1](n) = M[2](n)  for all n.

    HINT: There is a simple bijection between the two sets
           of partitions.

(5) [MACMAHON]
    Let M[3](n) denote the number of partitions of n into parts
    into parts not congruent to 1 or 5 mod 6.  Prove that

    M[2](n) = M[3](n)  for all n.

    HINTS:
     (i) First write the GF of M[3](n) as an infinite product.

     (ii) Show that 1 + x^2 + x^3 + ...  = (1 - x^6)/((1 - x^2)(1 - x^3))
          for |x|<1 and hence write the GF of M[2] as an infinite
          product.

(6) [EULER]
    Prove that the absolute value of the number of (unrestricted)
    partitions of n with an odd number of parts over those with
    and even number of parts equals the number of partitions into distinct
    odd parts.

    HINT: If  
    prod( (1-q^(2*n-1)), n=1 .. infinity) = sum( a[n]*q^n, n=0 .. infinity)
    then show that 
    prod( (1+q^(2*n-1)), n=1 .. infinity) = sum( |a[n]|*q^n, n=0 .. infinity)
