6 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This is a study on the fundamental theorem of algebra which belongs to the field of analysis. Hence, I shall proceed to give a proof of the fundamental theorem of algebra by means of analysis. Some of the powerful mathematical tools of anaj.ysis are applied. These tools include Cauchy s integral, theorem, the residue theorem, and the zeros of an analytic function inside the unit circle and Rouche s theorem. AU material not pertinent to this discussion has been deleted in order to make for s:implicity in presentation and understanding. As a result, this proof should provide an interesting study on the fundamental theorem of algebra. Several proofs of this theorem have been given. However, the first complete proof that solutions exist was given by Gauss in his doctoral thesis in
7 CHAPTER II M~LTH~ATICAL TOOLS 2-1. Equations The fundamental theorem of algebra toils us of the existence of solutions for all algebraic equations with complex coefficients. That is to say, the polynomial equation, az~+az~1+a2z~2+, where n is positive, a0 is not zero and a0, a.~, a2,..., a~ are complex numbers, has at least one solution in the field of complex numbers. Since the solution of these equations belong to the field of complex numbers, let us consider the geometric structure of complex numbers. Let z = x + i y. Then r = j z j = 1/ x2 + y2 is called the modulus (or absolute value) of z. Consider Figure 1. Set e tan~ ~. y*~y Then x = r cos 9 and y = r sin 8. 8 is called the Figure 1 argument of z. Now observe z = x + i y y(cos e + i sin e). This form is the polar form of z in which ~ The Simple Closed Curve Let x = x (~) and y = y (t) be continuous on These functions may be thought of as the parametric ~oc) Figure 2 representation of the curve C (Fig. 2)j ~:i~iing~: ~póints FP(x ( V, y (~)a~d Q Cx (,e), y () ). 2
8 3 Set z (t) = x (t) + iy Ct). Then our representation is simpler. Thus z = z (t), on, represents the curve C, If z (ot) = z (,8), then our curve is said to be a closed curve. If z (t,~) ~ z Ct2) for all t1 ~ t2 in ~ but z (s.) z (,.d), then our curve is called a simple closed curve. Sucti a curve is called a Jordan curve. Any simply closed curve (or a Jordan curve) divides the plane into exactly two regions. This theorem is called Jordan s curve theorem.1 A Jordan curve has both an inside or bounded region (cafled the interior region of the curve), and an outside or unbounded region (called the exterior region of the curve). For example, the circle ~ z I = i... divides the plane into two separate regions: j z I ~. t~which represents the interior and z I ~ which represents the exterior Cauchy s Integral Theorem Let f be regular in a simply connected region G.2 Let V be any closed path (not necessarily simple) lying in G. Then (z) d~z 0 a-according to Konrad Knopp, Theory of ~rnctions, Part I, page 15, the proof of Jordan s curve theorem can be found in G. N.

Choose Y so that f (z) ~ ~ g (z) I on C. Let z = r ewe, ~there eig cos 9 i sin 9. f (z) = a0 rt~~ g (z) = a1 ~ ~- e~ (n~) ~ + a~ rn.~2 0j(~2) e +,~e + a~. 12
18 Now observe that / a0 r1~ e~~i /a, r ~- e~ (n i) ~ + + ~ I 13 a0 / r~ a1 1 + /a2j 1 + ja~j ~ j~j 2 Since the expression in [ ] is a poj~momial in 1 and since ovor~r po]~jnomiaj. is oontinuouc, there exists r0 ouch that the expression in ( ]~ for all r > r0. Hence / f (z) / /g (z) / ~ ~ / a0 / r1~ for all r > r0. Thus taking any one of these r we have /f (z)i ~./g (z)~ on C:/zj Now it is oloar that the hypothesis of Rouche s theorem are satisfied, Hence the number of zeros of f (z) and f (z) g (z) interior to C is the same. But it is clear that the number of zeros of f (z) inside C is n, Since f (z) + g (z) ~ a~ ~ + a1 z~~1 +,, we have that a0 zr~ + a1 z~ ~ +,, a~ 0 has co~1ex roots, Q. E. B.
