Nov 9, 2009 at 22:29 comment added Ilya Nikokoshev C'mon, let's be easier on the guy. His question is less than perfect, but I get to post a not-so-well-known but readable reference.

Nov 9, 2009 at 0:03 comment added Yemon Choi To echo some of the other commenters: this can be found in many textbooks that were designed for use with honours-level courses. There are introductory books by Ledermann, and James and Liebeck, and no doubt others, which I'd hope you could find in your university library.

Nov 8, 2009 at 22:28 comment added Konrad Voelkel I am pretty sure that someone can prove this. Have you looked up the standard representation theory literature yet? I would recommend Serres Linear Representations of Finite Groups. As far as I remember, this is proved in the first part of the book.
