<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Classic monograph, suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students. Topics include calculus of permutations and tableaux, semi-normal representation, orthogonal and natural representations, group characters, and substitutional equations. 1968 edition.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This classic monograph on representation theory and the symmetric group is suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students of mathematics. The <i>Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society</i> hailed Daniel Edwin Rutherford's treatment as "a long overdue account of Young's representation theory of the symmetric group," noting that "many of Young's complicated proofs have been simplified through a free use of mathematical induction."<br>Starting with an elementary overview of the theory of the symmetric group, the book proceeds to an examination of Young's formula, followed by an introduction to the fundamental notion of a standard diagram. Subsequent chapters present the passage to orthogonal and natural representations. No prior knowledge of the general theory of group characters is assumed, and the author deduces the necessary theory for the symmetric group. The final chapter illustrates the substitutional aspect of the theory, and a helpful appendix and bibliography conclude the text.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Daniel Edwin Rutherford (1906-66) was Professor of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics at Scotland's University of St. Andrews.<i> Substitutional Analysis</i> is widely considered the most historically important of his many books.
