Introduction

The purpose behind this paper is to understand the concepts of symmetric functions in field theory understand the motivation, math content and examples of symmetric functions in field theory and lastly discuss the contributions of one significant mathematician to symmetric functions in field theory.

Discussion

A field theory is basically a branch of mathematics, which focuses on the concept of fields; a field can be defined as a part of abstract algebra which gives the principle of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The most widely used fields include of real numbers, complex numbers and rational numbers. However there are ...
