Figure 1: The forward problem (the fundamental theorem of linear algebra). A 's domain is the upper-left space, while its range is the lower-right one. In the domain, A 's row-space is shown in red , while its nullspace in blue . A generic vector comprising both a row-space and a nullspace components is the vector on which A operates, mapping it onto the adjoint space (lower-right). In the latter space, the shown b comprises components from A 's range (column-space) and left nullspace
Figure 1 represents the operation of a matrix on a vector (the upper-left space). That is, it shows schematically what happens when an arbitrary vector from 's domain (the space corresponding dimensionally to 's row dimension N ) is mapped by onto the range space (the space corresponding dimensionally to 's column dimension M ). Hence the schematic shows what happens to from the upper-left space as transforms it to the range, the lower-right space. Put differently, this schematic represents the

Carl Gauss's Fundamental Theorem of Algebra
Disquisitiones Arithmeticae Nevertheless, he took the opportunity to produce a virtual declaration of independence from the stifling world of deductive mathematics, in the form of a written thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of Helmstedt, on a new proof of the fundamental theorem of algebra. Within months, he was granted his doctorate without even having to appear for oral examination. Describing his intention to his former classmate, Wolfgang Bolyai, Gauss wrote, "The title [fundamental theorem] indicates quite definitely the purpose of the essay; only about a third of the whole, nevertheless, is used for this purpose; the remainder contains chiefly the history and a critique of works on the same subject by other mathematicians (viz. d'Alembert, Bougainville, Euler, de Foncenex, Lagrange, and the encyclopedists ... which latter, however, will probably not be much pleased), besides many and varied comments on the shallowness which is so dominant in our present-day mathematics." In essence, Gauss was defending, and extending, a principle that goes back to Plato, in which only physical action, not arbitrary assumptions, defines our notion of magnitude. Like Plato, Gauss recognized it were insufficient to simply state his discovery, unless it were combined with a polemical attack on the Aristotelean falsehoods that had become so popular among his contemporaries.

A paper on this topic appears in the Journal of Automated Reasoning [W. McCune, "Solution of the Robbins Problem", JAR 19(3), 263276 (1997)]. Here is a preprint . The JAR paper has simpler proofs than the ones below on this page.

    Introduction
    The Robbins problem-are all Robbins algebras Boolean?-has been solved: Every Robbins algebra is Boolean. This theorem was proved automatically by EQP , a theorem proving program developed at Argonne National Laboratory.
    Historical Background
    In 1933, E. V. Huntington presented [1,2] the following basis for Boolean algebra: x + y = y + x. [commutativity] (x + y) + z = x + (y + z). [associativity] n(n(x) + y) + n(n(x) + n(y)) = x. [Huntington equation] Shortly thereafter, Herbert Robbins conjectured that the Huntington equation can be replaced with a simpler one [5]:

    The binary and 1 states are naturally related to the true and false logic variables. We will find the following Boolean algebra useful. Consider two logic variables A and B and the result of some Boolean logic operation Q . We can define Q is true if and only if A is true AND B is true. Q is true if A is true OR B is true. Q is true if A is false. A useful way of displaying the results of a Boolean operation is with a truth table. We will make extensive use of truth tables later. If no ``-'' is available on your text processor or circuit drawing program an `` N '' can be used, ie. We list a few trivial Boolean rules in table

    Volume IV - Digital Chapter 7: BOOLEAN ALGEBRA DeMorgan's Theorems
    DeMorgan's Theorems
    A mathematician named DeMorgan developed a pair of important rules regarding group complementation in Boolean algebra. By group complementation, I'm referring to the complement of a group of terms, represented by a long bar over more than one variable. You should recall from the chapter on logic gates that inverting all inputs to a gate reverses that gate's essential function from AND to OR, or visa-versa, and also inverts the output. So, an OR gate with all inputs inverted (a Negative-OR gate) behaves the same as a NAND gate, and an AND gate with all inputs inverted (a Negative-AND gate) behaves the same as a NOR gate. DeMorgan's theorems state the same equivalence in "backward" form: that inverting the output of any gate results in the same function as the opposite type of gate (AND vs. OR) with inverted inputs: A long bar extending over the term AB acts as a grouping symbol, and as such is entirely different from the product of A and B independently inverted. In other words, (AB)' is not equal to A'B'. Because the "prime" symbol (') cannot be stretched over two variables like a bar can, we are forced to use parentheses to make it apply to the whole term AB in the previous sentence. A bar, however, acts as its own grouping symbol when stretched over more than one variable. This has profound impact on how Boolean expressions are evaluated and reduced, as we shall see.

    Proofs of Pythagoras' Theorem using translations
    Conceptually, one of the most attractive ways to' prove Pythagoras' Theorem is to find a partition the three squares into smaller regions, with the property that the partition of the large square is assembled from regions in the partitions of the two other squares. Such proofs are among the oldest known. Some of them turn out to be closely related to the straightforward `algebraic' proofs. There is in fact a general and elementary result about areas in the plane (apparently proven first around 1900) which asserts that if two polygonal figures in the plane have the same area, then one can find piecewise congruent decomposition of the two figures. That is to say, on grounds of general principle one knows that if Pythagoras' Theorem is true, one can find the sort of partitions we are looking for.

    Direct Consequences
    With this language we can give some simple examples for which we can use the definition directly.
    • If a n 2 as n , then (take = 1), eventually, a n is within a distance 1 of 2. One consequence of this is that eventually a n a n Let a n n . Then a n as n . To check this, pick N with N . Now suppose that n N . We have by choice of N The sequence a n n - 1 is divergent; for if not, then there is some l such that a n l as n . Taking = 1, we see that eventually (say after N ) , we have n l n l n N . thus n l + 2 for all n , which is a contradiction.
    Exercise 2.5 Show that the sequence a n as n Although we can work directly from the definition in these simple cases, most of the time it is too hard. So rather than always working directly, we also use the definition to prove some general tools, and then use the tools to tell us about convergence or divergence. Here is a simple tool (or Proposition). Proposition 2.6 Let a n l as n and assume also that a n m as n . Then l m . In other words, if a sequence has a limit, it has a unique limit, and we are justified in talking about
