= Alfred Young (mathematician)
{wiki=Alfred_Young_(mathematician)}
Alfred Young (1873–1940) was a noted British mathematician primarily recognized for his contributions to the field of algebraic combinatorics, particularly in the areas of symmetric functions and representation theory. One of his significant contributions is the introduction of Young tableaux, which are combinatorial objects used to describe the representations of the symmetric group and also find applications in various areas of mathematics such as algebra, geometry, and the theory of partitions.
