Dave's Short Course on The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra As remarked before, in the 16th century Cardano noted that the sum of the three solutions to a cubic equation x bx cx d b , the negation of the coefficient of x . By the 17th century the theory of equations had developed so far as to allow Girard (1595-1632) to state a principle of algebra, what we call now "the fundamental theorem of algebra". His formulation, which he didn't prove, also gives a general relation between the n solutions to an n th degree equation and its n coefficients. An n th degree equation can be written in modern notation as x n a x n a n x a n x a n where the coefficients a a n a n , and a n are all constants. Girard said that an n th degree equation admits of n solutions, if you allow all roots and count roots with multiplicity. So, for example, the equation x x x + 1 = has the two solutions 1 and 1. Girard wasn't particularly clear what form his solutions were to have, just that there be n of them: x x x n , and x n Girard gave the relation between the n roots x x x n , and x n and the n coefficients a a n a n , and a n that extends Cardano's remark. First, the sum of the roots

Treatise of plane geometry through the geometric algebra (June 2000-July 2001) Ramon González Calvet 276 pp DIN-A-4 with 128 figures and 104 solved problems. ISBN: 84-699-3197-0 This book is a very enlarged English translation of the Tractat de geometria plana mitjançant l'àlgebra geomètrica . Here the Clifford-Grassman Geometric Algebra is applied to solve geometric equations, which are like the algebraic equations but containing geometric (vector) unknowns instead of real quantities. The unique way to solve these kind of equations is by using an associative algebra of vectors, the Clifford-Grassmann Geometric Algebra. Using the CGGA we have the freedom of transposition and isolation of any geometric unknown in a geometric equation. Then the typical problems and theorems of geometry, which have been hardly proved till now by means of synthetic methods, are more easily solved through the CGGA. On the other hand, the formulas obtained from the CGGA can immediately be written in Cartesian coordinates, giving a very useful service for programming computer applications, as in the case of the notable points of a triangle. Now the formerly numerous chapters have been combined into a small number of PDF files. Readers with a high-speed Internet connection should download the whole book

EDITORIAL From Spring 2002 21st Century issue. An Induced Mental Block A New Curriculum We have all heard the frequent laments among our co-thinkers and professional colleagues at the sadly reduced state of science and mathematics education in our nation. As in all such matters, after the righteous indignation and hand-wringing, is over, one must ask oneself the realistic question: Are you part of the problem, or part of the solution? If you are not sure, we have a proposal for you. To introduce it, I ask you to perform the following experiment. STEP 1: As a suitable subject, locate any person who has attended high school within the last 50 or so years. You may include yourself. Now, politely ask that person, if he or she would please construct for you a square root. Among the technically educated, it is very common, next, to see the diagonal of the square appear, often with the label 2 attached. As this has nothing whatsoever to do with the solution, I have found it most effective to point out in such cases, that the problem is really much simpler than that. No knowledge of the Pythagorean Theorem, nor any higher mathematics, is required. An Induced Mental Block What is the problem? No student of the classical method of education, which has been around for at least the past 2,500 years, could ever have any problem with this simple exercise. The mental block which arises here is the perfectly lawful result of the absurd and prevalent modern-day teaching that number can exist independent of any physically determining principle. This is the ivory-tower view of mathematics, which holds sway from grade school to university, and reaches up like a hand from the grave, even into the peer review process governing what can be reported as the results of experimental physics.

Recommended Books Terminology and Notation First, we present some notation and definitions. A general polynomial has the form This function is really a mathematical expression rather than an equation since the f(x) to the left of the equals sign is just a label or abbreviation for the long expression to the right of the first equals sign. The large symbol to the right of the second equals sign is called the sigma notation, and reads, "sum the product of the kth a and the kth power of x from k=1 up to k=n". This notation comes in handy when we are adding up a large number of terms that look alike. equation zeros of f(x) or roots of the equation f(x) = 0. The distinction between these terms is small (albeit precise) and the terms are often used interchangeably. Suppose we find the n numbers (read this last expression as "the set of all complex x which make f(x) = 0"; the first two expressions are two different ways of listing the individual x’s) that are all the possible roots of the equation. Then, we can express the polynomial in a much simpler form:

55. The Fundamental Theorem Of Algebra The Fundamental theorem of algebra. theorem 1 Every nonconstant polynomial with complex coefficients has a complex root. For example http://www.shef.ac.uk/puremath/theorems/ftalgebra.html

The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra Theorem 1 Every nonconstant polynomial with complex coefficients has a complex root. For example, a nonconstant polynomial of degree 1 has the form f(z) = az+b with a 0, and this has a root z = -b/a. A polynomial of degree 2 has the form f(z) = az +bz+c, and this has roots given by the familiar quadratic formula z = (-b (b -4ac)])/2a. To use this we need to know how to take square roots of complex numbers, which is achieved by the formula x+iy = ((r+x)/2) + ((r-x)/2) i , where r = [ (x +y )]. (Note that the right hand side here only involves square root of positive real numbers.) Alternatively, we can use de Moivre's theorem: we have x+iy = re i q for some q , and then [ (x+iy)] = re i q The case of polynomials of degree 3 is more complicated. A typical cubic polynomial has the form f(z) = az +bz +cz+d. Consider the special case where a, b, c and d are real numbers and a 0, so we can think of f as a real-valued function of a real variable. When x is a large, positive real number the term ax will be much bigger than the other two terms and it follows that f(x) will be positive. Similarly, if x is a large negative real number then the term ax

57. Fundamental Theorem Of Algebra Fundamental theorem of algebra. The fundamental theorem of algebra (FTA) states Every polynomial of degree n with complex coefficients http://www.und.edu/dept/math/history/fundalg.htm

Fundamental Theorem of Algebra The fundamental theorem of algebra (FTA) states Every polynomial of degree n with complex coefficients has n roots in the complex numbers. There are many other equivalent versions of this, for example that every real polynomial can be expressed as the product of real linear and real quadratic factors. Early work with equations only considered positive real roots so the FTA was not relevant. Cardan realized that one could work with numbers outside of the reals while studying a formula for the roots of a cubic equation. While solving x = 15x + 4 using the formula he got an answer involving the square root of -121. He manipulated this to obtain the correct answer, x = 4, even though he did not understand exactly what he was doing with these "complex numbers." In 1572 Bombelli created rules for these "complex numbers." In 1637 Descartes said that one can "imagine" for every equation of degree n n roots, but these imagined roots do not correspond to any real quantity. Albert Girard , a Flemish mathematiciam, was the first to claim that there are always n solutions to a polynomial of degree n in 1629 in . He does not say that the solutions are of the form a + b i , a, b real. Many mathematicians accepted Girard's claim that a polynomial equation must have

THE FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OF ALGEBRA Our object is to prove that every nonconstant polynomial f(z) in one variable z over the complex numbers C has a root, i.e. that there is a complex number r in C such that f(r) = 0. Suppose that The key point: one can get the absolute value of a nonconstant COMPLEX polynomial at a point where it does not vanish to decrease by moving along a line segment in a suitably chosen direction. We first review some relevant facts from calculus. Properties of real numbers and continuous functions Fact 1. Every sequence of real numbers has a monotone (nondecreasing or nonincreasing) subsequence. Proof. If the sequence has some term which occurs infinitely many times this is clear. Otherwise, we may choose a subsequence in which all the terms are distinct and work with that. Hence, assume that all terms are distinct. Call an element "good" if it is bigger than all the terms that follow it. If there are infinitely many good terms we are done: they will form a decreasing subsequence. If there are only finitely many pick any term beyond the last of them. It is not good, so pick a term after it that is bigger. That is not good, so pick a term after it that is bigger. Continuing in this way (officially, by mathematical induction) we get a strictly increasing subsequence. QED Fact 2. A bounded monotone sequence of real numbers converges.
