Generally, a '''partition''' is a division of a whole into non-overlapping parts.  Among the kinds of partitions considered in [[mathematics]] are
* [[partition of a set]] or an [[ordered partition]] of a set,
* [[graph partition|partition of a graph]],
* [[partition of an integer]],
* [[partition of an interval]],
* [[partition of unity]],
* partition of a matrix; see [[block matrix]], and
* [[partition of the sum of squares]] in [[statistics]] problems, especially in the [[analysis of variance]],
* [[quotition and partition]], two ways of viewing the operation of division of integers.
