Representations and primitive central idempotents of a finite solvable group

Let $G$ be a finite solvable group. Then $G$ always has a useful presentation, which we call a "long presentation". Using a "long presentation" of $G$, we present an inductive method of constructing the irreducible representations of $G$ over $\mathbb{C}$ and computing the primitive central idempotents of the complex group algebra $\mathbb{C}[G]$. For a finite abelian group, we present a systematic method of constructing the irreducible representations over a field of characteristic either $0$ or prime to order of the group and also a systematic method of computing the primitive central idempotents of the semisimple abelian group algebra.
