East African Summer School in Representation Theory with connections to Geometry and Combinatorics July 4-16, 2005
This summer school covered material on the basics of the combinatorics of tableaux, symmetric functions as well as lectures on polynomial invariants and coinvariants. The computer lab used the computer algebra system MuPAD and the MuPAD-Combinat package for experimentation with tableaux and words.
Topics and course material	Computer labs using MuPAD Notes on tableaux Notes on symmetric functions Invariant theory of finite groups - Notes on invariants/coinvariants Elements of invariant theory - Notes on finite generation of polynomial invariants Lecture notes and computer labs and exercises
