Partial fraction decomposition is taking a big algebra fraction and splitting it into a bunch of smaller fractions that are added together.
Partial fractions are used to get the antiderivatives of algebra fractions.
In math writing, we're turning this:
Into this:
The denominators of all these fractions are factors of g(x).
