Abstract
We develop an algebraic formula for the conjugate of a partition. As an immediate consequence, we obtain an alternate proof for the known result that the number of distinct parts of a partition is invariant under conjugation. In addition, we present a theorem concerning the multiplicities of the parts of a partition.
