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.

Chapter 6 Review: Section 7 - Using the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra Notes The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra Tada! It's the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra . It's no big surprise, though, as Mrs. Gould taught it to us during Section 4 . The theorem simply states that the degree of any polynomial is how many solutions it has. Remember though, the solutions may not all be real, and solutions that are real may be irrational. Finding the Zeroes of Polynomial Functions Once again, this is not new material. Now, before you use the zero product property, make sure that you factor out complex numbers, too. Writing Polynomial Functions with Given Factors We've been factoring polynomial functions for the whole chapter, but how do the textbook writers make polynomial functions that factor? First, it is necessary to understand that anything with a factor of a square root has at least two factors, one positive and one negative. Since i is the square root of -1, anything that has i for a factor also of - i With that in mind, writing polynomial functions with given factors is easy. Just multiply all the factors together. The product is the polynomial of least degree and a with a leading coefficient of 1 that has all the factors. Practice Quiz Find all the zeroes of the function.

Username: Password: Sites for teachers Sites for parents Awards Interactive Activities ... Sites for parents In a recent email Professor Diego Vaggione of the National University of Cordoba , Argentina kindly drew my attention to a note of his that appeared in Colloquium Mathematicum not long ago. The note that presents a short proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra follows (in an HTML rendition) the message from Professor Vaggione. Dear professor Bogomolny: I have visited your web site on mathematics. I found it very interesting. I am enclosing a latex file of my paper "On the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra" (Colloquium Mathematicum, Vol. 73, No. 2 (1997), 193-194) in which I show that the clasical proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra via Liouville can be substantialy simplified. Perhaps you can include this proof at your web site. Best regards, Diego Vaggione COLLOQUIUM MATHEMATICUM VOL. 73 NO. 2 ON THE FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OF ALGEBRA BY In most traditional textbooks on complex variables, the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra is obtained as a corollary of Liouville's theorem using elementary topological arguments.

Web kids.net.au Thesaurus Dictionary Kids Categories Encyclopedia ... Contents Encyclopedia - Fundamental theorem of algebra The fundamental theorem of algebra (now considered something of a misnomer by many mathematicians) states that every complex polynomial of degree n has exactly n zeroes, counted with multiplicity. More formally, if (where the coefficients a a n can be real or complex numbers), then there exist (not necessarily distinct) complex numbers z z n such that This shows that the field of complex numbers , unlike the field of real numbers , is algebraically closed . An easy consequence is that the product of all the roots equals (-1) n a and the sum of all the roots equals - a n The theorem had been conjectured in the 17th century but could not be proved since the complex numbers had not yet been firmly grounded. The first rigorous proof was given by Carl Friedrich Gauss in the early 19th century. (An almost complete proof had been given earlier by d'Alembert .) Gauss produced several different proofs throughout his lifetime. It is possible to prove the theorem by using only algebraic methods, but nowadays the proof based on complex analysis seems most natural. The difficult step in the proof is to show that every non-constant polynomial has at least one zero. This can be done by employing

50. Fundamental Theorem Of Algebra The applet on this page is designed for experimenting with the fundamental theoremof algebra, which state that all polynomials with complex coefficients http://www.math.gatech.edu/~carlen/applets/archived/ClassFiles/FundThmAlg.html

The applet on this page is designed for experimenting with the fundamental theorem of algebra, which state that all polynomials with complex coefficients (and hence real as a special case) have a complete set of roots in the complex plane. The applet is designed to impart a geometric understanding of why this is true. It graphs the image in the complex plane, through the entered polynomial, of the circle of radius r. For small r, this is approximately a small circle around the constant term. For very large r, this is approximately a large circle that wraps n times around the origin, where n is the degree of the polynomial. For topological reasons, at some r value in between, the image must pass through the origin. When it does, a root is found. This applet lets you vary the radius and search out these roots. The real and imaginary parts of the polynomial must be entered separately in the function entering panels at the bottom of the applet in this version. There are instructions for how to enter other functions into these applets, but probably you should just try to enter things in and experiment always use * for multiplication, and ^ for powers, and make reasonable guesses about function names, and you may not need the instructions. Also, when you click to go to the radius entering panel, click again after you get there. For reason unbeknownst to me, the canvas on which the radius and such is reported erases itself after being drawn in. But a second click brings it back. The second click makes the exact same graphics calls, so this shouldn't happen. In any case, a second click cures it. If you know how to solve this the source is available on-line please let me know.

51. Complex Numbers: The Fundamental Theorem Of Algebra Also, the part of the Fundamental theorem of algebra which stated there actuallyare n solutions of an nth degree equation was yet to be proved, pending, http://www.clarku.edu/~djoyce/complex/fta.html

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

How to think of a proof of the fundamental theorem of algebra Prerequisites A familiarity with polynomials and with basic real analysis. Statement Every polynomial (with arbitrary complex coefficients) has a root in the complex plane. (Hence, by the factor theorem, the number of roots of a polynomial, up to multiplicity, equals its degree.) Preamble How to come up with a proof. If you have heard of the impossibility of solving the quintic by radicals, or if you have simply tried and failed to solve such equations, then you will understand that it is unlikely that algebra alone will help us to find a solution of an arbitrary polynomial equation. In fact, what does it mean to solve a polynomial equation? When we `solve' quadratics, what we actually do is reduce the problem to solving quadratics of the particularly simple form x =C. In other words, our achievement is relative: if it is possible to find square roots, then it is possible to solve arbitrary quadratic equations. But is it possible to find square roots? Algebra cannot help us here. (What it can do is tell us that the existence of square roots does not lead to a contradiction of the field axioms. We simply "adjoin" square roots to the rational numbers and go ahead and do calculations with them - just as we adjoin i to the reals without worrying about its existence. See my

Alternate versions are in DVI format (produced by TeX; see see here for a DVI viewer provided by John P. Costella ) and postscript format (viewable with ghostscript .)

(Three alternate sites for DVI viewers, via FTP, are CTAN Duke , and Dante, in Germany It would take at least three semesters to teach the minimum amount of algebra that a graduate student ought to know, and probably even four semesters would not be overly long. So for a two semester course, a lot of hard choices have to be made, and these choices give rise to spirited disagreements among algebraists. Here at UH, it's also important to realize that the basic graduate algebra course is probably the most advanced algebra course that a student will ever take. At best, a student who decides to major in algebra may eventually also take a one semester course in ring theory or group theory. One important consideration for me is that the algebra course should cover all the topics in algebra commonly used by analysts and topologists. This means that it's important to cover topics such as commutative diagrams, the tensor product, functors, and Nakayama's Lemma.
