Abstract

The derivation of the Hardy-Ramanujan-Rademacher formula for the number of partitions of nn is reviewed. Next, the steps for finding analogous formulas for certain restricted classes of partitions or overpartiitons is examined, bearing in mind how these calculations can be automated in a CAS. Finally, a number of new formulas of this type which were conjectured with the aid of \emph{Mathematica} are presented along with results of a test for their numerical accuracy.
