In this paper, we investigate two methods to express the natural powers of $2$ as sums over integer partitions. First we consider a formula by N. J. Fine that allows us to express a binomial coefficient in terms of multinomial coefficients…

Let $\chi_{\bar{k}}(n)$ be the number of colors required to color the $n$-dimensional hypercube such that no two vertices with the same color are at a distance at most $k$. In other words, $\chi_{\bar{k}}(n)$ is the minimum number of binary…

We consider the tiling of an $n$-board (a board of size $n\times1$) with squares of unit width and $(1,1)$-fence tiles. A $(1,1)$-fence tile is composed of two unit-width square subtiles separated by a gap of unit width. We show that the…

The regular icosahedron is connected to many exceptional objects in mathematics. Here we describe two constructions of the $\mathrm{E}_8$ lattice from the icosahedron. One uses a subring of the quaternions called the "icosians", while the…

Euler's classic partition identity states that the number of partitions of $n$ into odd parts equals the number of partitions of $n$ into distinct parts. We develop a new generalization of this identity, which yields a previous…
