%N Highest degree of an irreducible representation of symmetric group S_n of degree n.
%C Highest number of standard tableaux of the Ferrers diagrams of the partitions of n. Example: a(4) = 3 because to the partitions 4, 31, 22, 211, and 1111 there correspond 1, 3, 2, 3, and 1 standard tableaux, respectively. - _Emeric Deutsch_, Oct 02 2015
