Could you clarify the time frame you have in mind? A single lecture, a week, or a month?

It's hard to think of a worse way of computing eigenvalues numerically than calculating and then estimating the zeros of the characteristic polynomial

comment Generating Random Young Tableaux: A peculiar probability identity
Thank you for your answer and links. I'm glad I'm not alone in my bewilderment as to why one gets such a nice identity. I was wondering if you happen to know any other algorithms for generating uniformly random Young Tableaux of a fixed shape $\lambda$? I'm aware that you were able to construct an algorithm akin to bubble-sorting. Do you happen to know of others?

comment Summing Characters of the Symmetric Group over Derangements (Enumerative Combinatorics: Vol. II Ex. 7.63)
When you write notation such as $\sum_\lambda$ are you implying that you're summing over all possible tableaux shapes? If yes, then the $h_n$ formula is the sum over a fixed shape, whereas your sum just before your $e^{-h_1}h_n$ conclusion is probably over all shapes.

If it's not too much trouble, please Tex the problem statement into your question to avoid a future dead link.
