a(n) = degree of Kac determinant at level n as polynomial in the conformal weight (called h). (Cf. C. Itzykson and J.-M. Drouffe, Statistical Field Theory, Vol. 2, p. 533, eq.(98); reference p. 643, Cambridge University Press, (1989).) - Wolfdieter Lang
Also the number of one-element transitions from the integer partitions of n to the partitions of n-1 for labeled parts with the assumption that from any part z > 1 one can take an element of amount 1 in one way only. That means z is composed of z unlabeled parts of amount 1, i.e. z = 1 + 1 + ... + 1. E.g., for n=3 to n=2 we have a(3) = 6 and [111] --> [11], [111] --> [11], [111] --> [11], [12] --> [11], [12] --> [2], [3] --> [2]. For the case of z composed by labeled elements, z = 1_1 + 1_2 + ... + 1_z, see A066186. - Thomas Wieder, May 20 2004
Number of times a derivative of any order (not 0 of course) appears when expanding the n-th derivative of 1/f(x). For instance (1/f(x))'' = (2 f'(x)^2-f(x) f''(x)) / f(x)^3 which makes a(2) = 3 (by counting k times the k-th power of a derivative). - Thomas Baruchel, Nov 07 2005
Starting with offset 1, = the partition triangle A008284 * [1, 2, 3, ...]. - Gary W. Adamson, Feb 13 2008
Starting with offset 1 equals A000041: (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, ...) convolved with A000005: (1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 4, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 16 2009
Apart from initial 0 row sums of triangle A066633, also the Möbius transform is A085410. - Gary W. Adamson, Mar 21 2011
More generally, the total number of parts >= k in all partitions of n equals the sum of k-th largest parts of all partitions of n. In this case k = 1. Apart from initial 0 the first column of A181187. - Omar E. Pol, Feb 14 2012

a(n) is also the total number of divisors of all positive integers in a sequence with n blocks where the m-th block consists of A000041(n-m) copies of m, with 1 <= m <= n. The mentioned divisors are also all parts of all partitions of n.
Apart from initial zero this is also as follows:
Number of ways to choose a part index of an integer partition of n, i.e., partitions of n with a selected position. Selecting a part value instead of index gives A000070. - Gus Wiseman, Apr 19 2021

FORMULA
G.f.: Sum_{n>=1} n*x^n / Product_{k=1..n} (1-x^k).
G.f.: Sum_{k>=1} x^k/(1-x^k) / Product_{m>=1} (1-x^m).
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} k*A008284(n, k).
a(n) = Sum_{m=1..n} of the number of divisors of m * number of partitions of n-m.
Note that the formula for the above comment is a(n) = Sum_{m=1..n} d(m)*p(n-m) = Sum_{m=1..n} A000005(m)*A000041(n-m), if n >= 1. - Omar E. Pol, Jan 21 2013
Erdős and Lehner show that if u(n) denotes the average largest part in a partition of n, then u(n) ~ constant*sqrt(n)*log n.
a(n) = Sum_{m=1..p(n)} A194446(m) = Sum_{m=1..p(n)} A141285(m), where p(n) = A000041(n), n >= 1. - Omar E. Pol, May 12 2013
a(n) = O(sqrt(n)*log(n)*p(n)), where p(n) is the partition function A000041(n). - Peter Bala, Dec 23 2013
From Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 23 2015: (Start)
Asymptotics (Luthra, 1957): a(n) = p(n) * (C*N^(1/2) + C^2/2) * (log(C*N^(1/2)) + gamma) + (1+C^2)/4 + O(N^(-1/2)*log(N)), where N = n - 1/24, C = sqrt(6)/Pi, gamma is the Euler-Mascheroni constant A001620 and p(n) is the partition function A000041(n).
The formula a(n) = p(n) * (sqrt(3*n/(2*Pi)) * (log(n) + 2*gamma - log(Pi/6)) + O(log(n)^3)) in the abstract of the article by Kessler and Livingston (cited also in the book by Sandor, p. 495) is incorrect!
Right is: a(n) = p(n) * (sqrt(3*n/2)/Pi * (log(n) + 2*gamma - log(Pi^2/6)) + O(log(n)^3))
or a(n) ~ exp(Pi*sqrt(2*n/3)) * (log(6*n/Pi^2) + 2*gamma) / (4*Pi*sqrt(2*n)).
(End)
G.f.: (log(1-x) + psi_x(1))/(log(x) * (x)_inf), where psi_q(z) is the q-digamma function, and (q)_inf is the q-Pochhammer symbol (the Euler function). - Vladimir Reshetnikov, Nov 17 2016
EXAMPLE
For n = 4 the partitions of 4 are [4], [2, 2], [3, 1], [2, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1, 1]. The total number of parts is 12. On the other hand, the sum of the largest parts of all partitions is 4 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 12, equaling the total number of parts, so a(4) = 12. - Omar E. Pol, Oct 12 2018
