Indeed. I submitted this post, because I found the article's discussion of the math involved fascinating, along with biographical details of Ramanujan I hadn't heard about before. I'm surprised to see how popular the post is, but also that there's maybe 5 or so posts that engage with the actual mathematics.

I probably shouldn't be surprised - generating functions pointing out unexpected connections between different restricted integer partitions is pretty niche.
