Representations of Finite Groups - 8 (1st edition.)

The purpose of this book is multifold. The First and foremost is to give an elementary introduction to the basic concepts of the theory of ordinary representations to finite groups with a minimum of prerequisites.

The Second which is also the main theme of this exposition is to be able to do the theory rather explicitly for the important special case of the symmetric groups Sn of permutations on n letters.

The Third aspect is to use the preparatory material of the first two parts coupled with the Sn theory to do the same for some other important special groups, namely, the alternating group An the Hyperoctahedral groups Bn and Dn.
