New partition function record: p(10^20) computed

The partition functionp(n) counts the number of partitions of n, i.e. the number of ways n can be written sum of positive integers when disregarding the order of the terms. For example, 4 has the five distinct partitions 4, 3+1, 2+2, 2+1+1, 1+1+1+1, so p(4) = 5. This week, I set a new record by comp...
