| | | | | [AI summary] The text provides an in-depth explanation of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, which states that every non-constant polynomial of degree $ n $ has exactly $ n $ roots in the complex number system, counting multiplicities. It walks through the proof by first establishing that every polynomial has at least one complex root (using the properties of continuous functions and the complex plane), then using polynomial division to factor the polynomial into linear factors, and finally addressing the nature of roots (real vs. complex) and their multiplicities. The text also touches on the conjugate root theorem, which explains why complex roots of polynomials with real coefficients come in conjugate pairs. | |

| | | | | Many modern mathematical proofs are a combination of conceptual arguments and technical calculations. There is something of a tradeoff between the two: one can add more conceptual arguments to try ... | |

| | | NB: I've opted to just get straight to the point with this post rather than attempting to introduce the subject first, so it may be of little interest to readers who aren't already interested in proving the completeness theorem for propositional logic. A PDF version of this document is available here. The key thing I... | ||
