- Summary:
- Charles W. Curtis presents the historical development of the representation theory of finite groups, beginning with Gauss, proceeding to Frobenius' work on character theory and Burnside's work on representation theory. He then discusses the Feit-Thompson theorem of groups of odd order and discusses contributions of Noether and Brauer, among others.
