{"product_id":"substitutional-analysis-9780486491202","title":"Substitutional Analysis","description":"This classic monograph on representation theory and the symmetric group is suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students of mathematics. The \u003ci\u003eBulletin of the American Mathematical Society\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\"\u003cbr\u003eStarting 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486491202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Daniel Rutherford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36637870817436,"sku":"9780486491202","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_d9bba1bb-0475-42c2-8642-37015da4ff28.jpg?v=1603845892","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/substitutional-analysis-9780486491202","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
