has a Durfee square of side 3 (in red) because it contains 3 parts that are ≥ 3, but does not contain 4 parts that are ≥ 4. Its Durfee symbol consists of the 2 partitions 1 and 2+1+1.

It is clear from the visual definition that the Durfee square of a partition and its conjugate partition have the same size. The partitions of an integer
51:. An equivalent, but more visual, definition is that the Durfee square is the largest square that is contained within a partition's 544: 624: 599: 514: 444: 684: 591: 374: 66:
consists of the two partitions represented by the points to the right or below the Durfee square.

Durfee's square is a great invention of the importance of which its author has no conception.
