East African Summer School in Representation Theory with connections to
Geometry and Combinatorics
July 4-16, 2005
Mombasa, Kenya
List of participants and affiliations
During the first week, the morning lectures covered the basics of
the combinatorics of tableaux and symmetric functions. The following
are the notes from
that session as well as the three assignments which followed that
material.
Notes on tableaux
Notes on symmetric functions
exercises 1, exercises 2,
exercises 3
During the second week the morning lectures covered an introduction
to representation theory of finite groups and symmetric functions.
There
were two problem sets which were related to this material.
