- Summary:
- This is an introduction to the representation theory of the symmetric group from three different points of view: via general representation theory, via combinatorial algorithms, and via symmetric functions. It is the only book to deal with all three aspects of this subject at once. A number of the combinatorial results presented have never appeared in book form before and the book will serve as a good reference for those working in this field. The second edition includes some new proofs and applications of the theory.

- Includes bibliographical references (pages 223-229) and index.
