Littlewood-Richardson without Algorithmically Defined Bijections

Abstract. We give an alternative proof of the classical Littlewood-Richardson rule, which is less "tableau-theoretic" than many earlier ones. The best of the earlier proofs have considerable combinatorial explanatory power. The proof below explains only why the product of two Schur functions is what it is.
