The author shows that the generalized Vandermonde determinant can be factored as the product of the classical Vandermonde determinant and the Schur function, which is a homogeneous symmetric function of the points involved. The Schur function can also be factored as a product of two polynomials where the first factor is given in closed form, and for the coefficients of the second factor the author develops an algorithm. This method is based on the Jacobi-Trudi identity for Schur functions.
