| contents | We define integer multimodal sequences, which are generalizations of unimodal sequences having multiple local peaks of equal size. The generating functions for multimodal sequences represent novel types of $q$-series that combine generating functions for both integer partitions and integer compositions. We prove a bijection between multimodal sequences of equal size (sum), and show that multimodal generating functions become finite series at roots of unity like the ``strange'' function of Kontsevich, quantum modular forms, and other examples of this phenomenon in the $q$-series literature. |
