Schur functions play an essential role in the representation theory of symmetric groups [see e.g. \textit{I. G. Macdonald}, Symmetric functions and Hall polynomials (Oxford, 1979; Zbl 0487.20007)]. In this article, the author extends the Vandermonde determinant and then generalizes the classical presentation of Schur functions as quotients of such determinants.
