TITLE: I'll prove the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra

Speaker:
Sam Kim

Affiliation:
Department of Pure Math, University of Waterloo

Room:

ABSTRACT:

Gauss proved that complex polynomials always admit a root. I'll
explain how he came to that conclusion and present a proof that
rigorizes his argument in a nice way. You will only need to know a
little vector calculus and the intermediate value theorem.
