I've been looking at J.A. Green's article The Characters of Finite General Linear Groups and it seems that Green in this article comes up with a way of calculating all irreducible characters of a given general linear group over a finite field $GL_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$, where $q$ is a prime power.
The article is quite old though, and really tough to read. Would anyone happen to know a more recent or more easily digestible source for this material?
Thanks!
