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?
The discussion centers on the bounds on zeros theorem, which is fundamentally linked to Rouche's theorem in complex analysis. Understanding this theorem requires knowledge beyond algebra, specifically in calculus and real analysis. Participants recommend "Complex Analysis" by Freitag and Busam as a key resource, along with "Principles of Real Analysis" by Aliprantis and Burkinshaw for foundational knowledge. The consensus is that while algebra may provide some insights, a comprehensive understanding necessitates a grasp of set theory, logic, and calculus I-III.
PREREQUISITESStudents and professionals in mathematics, particularly those focusing on complex analysis, algebra, and real analysis, will benefit from this discussion.
micromass said: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

mtayab1994 said:Yes to understand that you'll need to learn so set theory and logic i believe.
micromass said: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.
