| | The Cayley-Hamilton Theorem says that a square matrix $LATEX A$ satisfies its characteristic equation, that is $latex p(A) = 0$ where $latex p(t) = \det(tI-A)$ is the characteristic polynomial. This statement is not simply the substitution ``$latex p(A) = \det(A - A) = 0$'', which is not valid since $latex t$ must remain a scalar...

| | In the texbook I'm using for a first course in algebraic geometry, the proof of Bezout's theorem is awful. Looking around, I find an abundance of awful proofs. A good proof is one that I would want to commit to memory. Here is a good proof of Bezout's theorem, which is due to Gurjar and...

| | The theorem of the title is about dividing smooth functions by other smooth functions or, in other words, representing a given smooth function in terms of products of other smooth functions. A large part of the account which follows is based on that in the book 'Normal Forms and Unfoldings for Local Dynamical Systems' by...
