Graduate Texts in Mathematics The Symmetric Group: Representations, Combinatorial Algorithms, and Symmetric Functions, Book 203, (Hardcover)

There has recently been a resurgence of interest in representations of symmetric groups as well as other Coxeter groups. This book brings together for the first time many of the important results in this field. It includes a new chapter on applications of the materials from the first edition. The only prerequisites are elementary group theory and linear algebra.
