The term "rank of a partition" can refer to different concepts depending on the context in which it is used, such as in mathematics, particularly in number theory and combinatorics, or in the study of partitions in linear algebra (like matrix ranks or partitions of sets). In the context of number theory and partitions, the rank of a partition refers to the number of parts (or summands) in the partition minus the largest part.
