In this thesis we present the problem of the number of standard Young tableux and the hook-length formula, which supplies the result. We also touch on skew-shape tableux. We collect and summarize the history of proofs of this formula and review sketches of individual proofs. We present four proofs in detail: 1) Frame, Robinson and Thrall (original); 2) Greene, Nijenhuis and Wilf (probabilistic); 3)Novelli, Pak and Stoyanovskii (bijective); 4) Konvalinka (bijective).
