Abstract
The mock theta functions introduced by Ramanujan have been studied by many authors both analytically and combinatorially. The combinatorial interpretations that are known for some of them are quite different in nature. In this paper we present combinatorial interpretation as two-line array for many of the classical mock theta functions.
