| Sep 6, 2015 at 19:08 | comment | added | Igor Makhlin | @DimaPasechnik I've read through fair portions of both Zelevinsky's translation and Oxford's second edition. I must say I haven't felt much of a difference. I guess my problems with the text run deeper than what might change from one edition to the next. In a sense, it gives the feeling that what I'm reading is much closer to a research article than to a textbook. (This, of course, is for the specific reason of much of the material being Macdonald's original results.) | |

| Sep 6, 2015 at 18:06 | comment | added | Dima Pasechnik | I can only say that the 2nd edition of SFHP is more readable, so if you tried the 1st one (the one translated into Russian) then you might find the 2nd one nicer. | |

| Sep 6, 2015 at 17:29 | comment | added | Per Alexandersson | Oh, you are that Igor! I read your paper on Hall-Littlewood polynomials from Brions formula. It's quite nice! Anyway, have you had a look at Jim's book on qt-Catalan numbers? math.upenn.edu/~jhaglund It has a chapter in the end about Macdonald polynomials. | |
