Set partitions are ways of dividing a set into non-empty, disjoint subsets, where every element in the original set is included in exactly one of the subsets. Each subset created during this process is called a block, and the collection of these blocks forms a partition of the set. Set partitions are closely related to concepts like Stirling numbers and Bell numbers, which quantify the different ways to partition sets into various configurations.
