For a partition λ⊢n with k positive parts, the number of standard Young tableaux, and hence the dimension of its complex Specht module, is n!det(1/(λi​−i+j)!). Negative factorial arguments give zero entries. Setting Li​=λi​+k−i turns the determinant into ∏i<j​(Li​−Lj​)/∏i​Li​! by the Vandermonde determinant, matching the hook-length formula.
