Talk:Ring of symmetric functions

I suggest this article needs work. The topic overlaps heavily the article "Symmetric polynomial". I think there's room for an article on symmetric functions used in theory of equations (properties of polynomials), but the part that's theory of symmetric polynomials should be mostly cut (and added to "Symmetric polynomial" if necessary). Also, the writing could be improved. There is some highly advanced technical detail hinted at, that seems to belong in other articles, or at most, as remarks at the end of this article. On the other hand, the more elementary concepts could be explained more fully. I will do some work on articles in this area, but not enough. Zaslav 07:52, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
