I am against this. Why is the symbol of the basis h and not c? If you want to change "homogeneous" to the full name of "complete homogeneous" that is fine with me. In Sagan's book he first introduces these functions by their full name h_n is the "nth complete homogeneous symmetric function", but later on refers to them often as "homogeneous symmetric functions". So I would either vote for leaving this as "homogeneous" or changing it to "complete homogeneous", but definitely not just "complete". > He also suggests that it should be "Sym in the ... basis".

It should be "in" rather than "on". > If we switch to "in", we probably should fix that as well for NCSF/... Yes!
