Andrews's contributions include several monographs and over 250 research and popular articles on q-series, special functions, combinatorics and applications. He is considered to be the world's leading expert in the theory of integer partitions. In 1976 he discovered Ramanujan's Lost Notebook. He is highly interested in mathematical pedagogy, and is a vocal critic of the "calculus reform" movement.
Andrews is a member of the National Academy of Sciences. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1997. During 2008-2009 he was president of the American Mathematical Society. In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society. In December 2012 he received an honorary doctorate from SASTRA University in Kumbakonam, India. His book The Theory of Partitions is the standard reference on the subject of integer partitions.
