Title: Applications of the R-S-K correspondence and a first look at the Littlewood-Richardson rule

Abstract: Now that we have seen the R-S-K correspondence, in this talk we will explore some applications of it. Notably, we will establish a claim made in the very first talk, namely, that the Schur polynomials are symmetric. We will also get our first taste of the hook formula and see some interesting combinatorial applications. Finally, we will see the Littlewood-Richardson rule strictly in its tableaux counting form.
