Bounds on zeroes theorem? requires calc proof?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the bounds on zeros theorem, which is linked to Rouche's theorem in complex analysis. Understanding this theorem requires knowledge beyond basic algebra, including calculus, set theory, and logic. While some believe there may be purely algebraic proofs, they are not widely known. Recommended resources for further study include "Complex Analysis" by Freitag and Busam, which necessitates familiarity with calculus and real analysis. Additionally, "Principles of Real Analysis" by Aliprantis and Burkinshaw is suggested for those seeking a solid foundation in real analysis.

I've come across the bounds on zeros theorem in my algebra book, but they don't seem to try to offer proof for it. Does this proof require calculus?

Yes, they are based on Rouche's theorem. This is a classical theorem in complex analysis. Here is some information on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_polynomial_roots

So I do need more than algebra to understand it and this is why they didn't show proof of it?

Yes to understand that you'll need to learn so set theory and logic i believe.

Yes.


There might be proofs with only algebra, but I do not know them.

what are good books on this?
 
Read "Complex Analysis" by Freitag and Busam. But in order to be able to read that, you'll need some familiarity with calculus I-III and real analysis.
