    Abstract

    Here we prove that Benford's law holds for coefficients of an infinite class
    of modular forms. Expanding the work of Bringmann and Ono on exact formulas for
    harmonic Maass forms, we derive the necessary asymptotics. This implies that
    the unrestricted partition function $p(n)$, as well as other natural partition
    functions, satisfy Benford's law.
