MATH 374: INTRO TO REPRESENTATION THEORY
Spring 2027 · Section 001 · CRN 26359
First course in representation theory, with an emphasis on concrete examples, especially the symmetric group. Topics include representations of finite groups, characters, classification, symmetric functions, Young symmetrizers, and Schur-Weyl duality. Prior experience with proofs is necessary; some familiarity with linear or abstract algebra would be helpful, but can be acquired along the way. Recommended Prerequisite(s): Linear Algebra (MATH 221, MATH 354, or MATH 355) and MATH 356.
