Bounds on zeroes theorem? requires calc proof?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

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.

PREREQUISITES
  • Complex analysis, specifically Rouche's theorem
  • Calculus I-III
  • Real analysis
  • Set theory and logic
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Rouche's theorem in detail
  • Read "Complex Analysis" by Freitag and Busam
  • Explore "Principles of Real Analysis" by Aliprantis and Burkinshaw
  • Learn about the bounds on zeros theorem and its proofs
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in mathematics, particularly those focusing on complex analysis, algebra, and real analysis, will benefit from this discussion.

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.

What book would be good for real analysis?
