An inequality involving integer partitions
For integers $n\ge k\ge0$, let $p(n,k)$ denote the number of ways to write $n$ as a sum of $k$ positive integers (repetition allowed). For example, $p(6,3)=3$ since
$$6=1+1+4=1+2+3=2+2+2.$$

A family of polynomials related to integer partitions
For a positive integer $n$, let $p(n)$ be the number of partitions of $n$.
For $1\le k\le n$, let $p(n,k)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ having exactly $k$ terms; in other words, $p(n,k)$ is ...
