Title: The Plactic Monoid and Schur Polynomials

Abstract: In this talk we will continue with our investigation of the relationship between Young tableaux and words by specifically looking at how the sliding rule for skew tableaux works with elementary Knuth transformations. We will then define the plactic monoid, the tableaux ring, and continue on to Schur polynomials.
