It is a familiar fact that an important part is played in the Analytic Theory of Numbers by Fourier series. There are, for example, applications to Gauss' sums, to the zeta functions, to lattice point problems, and to formulae for the class number of quadratic fields.

The close similarity between the basic problems in statistical thermodynamics and the partition theory of numbers is now well recognized. In either case one is concerned with partitioning a large integer, under certain restrictions, which in effect means that the ‘Zustandsumme’ of a thermodynamic assembly is identical with the generating function of partitions appropriate to that assembly. The thermodynamic approach to the partition problem is of considerable interest as it has led to generalizations which so far have not yielded to the methods of the analytic theory of numbers. An interesting example is provided in a recent paper of Agarwala and Auluck (1) where the Hardy Ramanujan formula for partitions into integral powers of integers is shown to be valid for non-integral powers as well.
