%0 Journal Article %T A short proof of d'Alemberts theorem %A Tord Sj£żdin %J Mathematics %D 2013 %I arXiv %X A classical theorem of d'Alembert states that if a polynomial P(x) with real coefficients has a non-real root x=a+ib, then it also has a root x=a-ib. We give a short and elementary inductive proof that avoids any properties of the complex conjugation operator. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.4261v1
