The theory of integer partitions is an important subfield of combinatorics and number theory. In recent decades, we have also witnessed its various applications to representation theory, computer algebra, theoretical physics, etc. In this talk, I will present two aspects of integer partitions, namely, their asymptotic behaviors which are closely tied with analytic number theory, and identities arising from partitions which are built upon basic hypergeometric series and computer algebra. In particular, such studies are deeply rooted in the philosophy of Hans Rademacher and George Andrews.
